The way that test.py runs test/cqlpy tests requires that tests end their session with all keyspaces deleted. If we forget to delete a keyspace, test.py suspects some test fails and reports a failure. As reported in issue #26291, the test file test/cqlpy/test_describe.py caused this check to trigger, so this file was added to the blacklist "dirties_cluster" in suite.yaml to force test.py to ignore this problem. I believe the cause of the problem was as follows: test_describe.py didn't really leave any undeleted keyspace. Rather, test_describe.py had one test which used "USE" and this broke DESC KEYSPACES (Refs #26334) - which test.py used to see which keyspaces remained. We solved this problem not just once, but twice: 1. In pull request #26345, I fixed the test not to use "USE" on the main CQL session. 2. In pull request #27971, I fixed DESC KEYSPACES implementation so even if "USE" was in effect, it will return the correct results. I checked manually, and after removing test_describe.py from the dirties_cluster blacklist, all cqlpy tests now pass, without spurious failures in the test following test_describe.py. So it's time to remove it from the blacklist. Fixes #26291 Signed-off-by: Nadav Har'El <nyh@scylladb.com> Closes scylladb/scylladb#27973

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
