Description

when pytests run on windows-latest github action runner i get the following error:

self = <tidylib.tidy.Tidy object at 0x00000200870C3070>
lib_names = ['libtidy', 'libtidy.so', 'libtidy-0.99.so.0', 'cygtidy-0-99-0', 'tidylib', 'libtidy.dylib', ...]

    def __init__(self, lib_names=None):
        self._tidy = None
        if lib_names is None:
            lib_names = ctypes.util.find_library('tidy') or LIB_NAMES
        if isinstance(lib_names, str):
            lib_names = [lib_names]
        for name in lib_names:
            try:
                self._tidy = load_library(name)
                break
            except OSError:
                continue
        if self._tidy is None:

                "Could not load libtidy using any of these names: "
                + ",".join(lib_names))
