From: jayesh0104 <jayeshdaga99@gmail.com>

test_path_is_missing expects exactly one argument: the path to check for absence. Passing '-f' is incorrect and results in "bug in the test script: 1 param" during test execution.

The '-f' flag appears to have been carried over from the equivalent 'test -f' usage, but test_path_is_missing does not accept such flags.

Remove the extraneous '-f' to use the helper correctly and restore proper test behavior.
