`test -f` and `! test -f` do not provide clear error messages when they fail. To enanche debuggability, use `test_path_is_file` and `test_path_is_missing`, which instead provides more informative error messages. Note that `! test -f` checks if a path is not a file, while `test_path_is_missing` verifies that a path does not exist. In this specific case the tests are meant to check the absence of the path, making `test_path_is_missing` a valid replacement.
