Help with DBus Tests Failing for Python Package

[Jaft <jaft.r@outlook.com>]

I'm attempting to package the Python package DasBus (https://github.com/rhinstaller/dasbus/) and the tests, when it tries to test by making DBus calls, are failing.

For specificity, the error output is:

> test_additional_arguments (tests.test_dbus.DBusExampleTestCase)
> Call a DBus method. ... **
> GLib-GIO:ERROR:../glib-2.70.2/gio/gtestdbus.c:667:start_daemon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to execute child process “dbus-daemon” (No such file or directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8)
> Bail out! GLib-GIO:ERROR:../glib-2.70.2/gio/gtestdbus.c:667:start_daemon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to execute child process “dbus-daemon” (No such file or directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8)

I tried using ~xorg-server-for-tests~ and initializing the server before the =check= phase but I'm still running into the same error.

Would anyone know what might be a cause?
