Description

The bug is in get_training_code_hash() in sagemaker-core/src/sagemaker/core/workflow/utilities.py. When a SourceCode object is created without specifying requirements (which is optional and defaults to None), the get_code_hash() function passes None as the dependencies parameter to get_training_code_hash(). In the version the user has (3.3.1), the code does [source_dir] + dependencies which fails with TypeError: can only concatenate list (not 'NoneType') to list because dependencies is None. The fix in the current repo master correctly guards with if dependencies: checks before concatenation and wraps the string dependency in a list [dependencies]. However, there's a secondary concern: get_code_hash() in the same file should also defensively handle None requirements before calling get_training_code_hash() for extra safety.

This PR fixes a TypeError when dependencies is None in get_training_code_hash(), but the actual source code fix in utilities.py is missing from the diff — only test changes are included. The tests for get_code_hash are all skipped and will never run in CI, providing no real coverage. The PR needs the actual bug fix and runnable tests.

Critical: The actual source code fix is missing from this PR. The PR description mentions fixing sagemaker-core/src/sagemaker/core/workflow/utilities.py, but no changes to that file are included in the diff. The tests alone don't fix the bug — the defensive None handling in get_training_code_hash() and get_code_hash() must also be committed. Please include the source code changes.

Skipped tests provide zero coverage. These three get_code_hash tests are all decorated with @pytest.mark.skip and will never execute in CI. Skipped tests don't prove the fix works and don't count toward coverage.

Since get_code_hash imports TrainingStep internally, you can mock the isinstance check or patch the import rather than skipping entirely. For example:

with patch('sagemaker.core.workflow.utilities.TrainingStep', new=type('TrainingStep', (), {})):
    ...

Alternatively, restructure the test to call get_training_code_hash directly (which you already do in the non-skipped tests) and add a separate focused test for the None-to-list coercion in get_code_hash.

Line length exceeds 100 characters. This @pytest.mark.skip(reason=...) line is ~93 chars for the decorator alone plus the reason string, pushing well past the 100-char limit. Same issue on lines 383 and 406. Break the reason string or use a variable:

_SKIP_REASON = "Requires sagemaker-mlops module which is not installed in sagemaker-core tests"

@pytest.mark.skip(reason=_SKIP_REASON)

Good: this test directly validates the reported bug scenario (dependencies=None with source_dir). However, consider also asserting that the result matches the expected hash when dependencies=[] (empty list) to confirm None and empty list are treated equivalently, which strengthens the regression test.
