This test constructs an SqliteStorage object with a bogus database name, and expects to see a failure. The internal call to sqlite3_open succeeds with "~/" when linking against versions of SQLite from 3.39.0 onwards, however (and creates a file with the name "~" in the working directory). In these newer versions, trailing slashes are stripped from the input, likely as a byproduct of the following change (from the changelog):

The unix os interface resolves all symbolic links in database filenames
to create a canonical name for the database before the file is opened.

Using "." produces the expected failure.
