Starting with KDE Development + tests issue

Hi!

I would like to start contributing to KDE. A few days ago I submitted a bug
report for the Okular project (here: <
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435075>). As I didn't receive any
feedback there, and as I had a feeling it was an easy fix, I tried working
on it (and it's indeed a few-lines fix).

According to the guidelines I found here<
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development#Test_your_changes>, at
this point I should make sure that all unit tests pass before actually
trying to submit anything, but I encountered a problem I'm not sure how to
deal with: even on the repository code as-is many (19 out of 26) tests
fail. So I'm not really sure how to proceed at this point. Should I just
submit the merge request? Should I open a bug report for the test suite?

Best,
Stefano
