I’m trying to run a single test from pytorch/test/ with pytest.
I type py.test test_vmap.py -k test_trace in the shell to execute the test test_trace() from test_vmap.py.
It says ‘1 skipped’, so I assume the behavior of trace is not properly tested because of the skipped test. How can I fix this, respectively what do I need to change so that the test is not skipped?
I assume the main issue is this: Could not run 'aten::trace' with arguments from the 'Meta' backend.
What’s meant by ‘backend’ here? I’m running on a machine with GPU and can run PyTorch programs on it just fine.
The detailed pytest output is this:

SKIPPED [1] test_vmap.py:2409: not implemented: Could not run 'aten::trace' with arguments from the 'Meta' backend. This could be because the operator doesn't exist for this backend, or was omitted during the selective/custom build process (if using custom build).
