How to make hatch test install the whl instead of directly using it?

[Cyberavater]

With the AI answers, I was recommended to do:

[tool.hatch.envs.hatch-test]
dev-mode = false # This is the line recommended by AI to have it installed instead of having it editable/local use mode
dependencies = [
    "pytest"
]

But when I try it,
hatch test

I still get

=========================================== FAILURES ===========================================
_________________________________________ test_binary __________________________________________

    def test_binary() -> str | None:
        if True:
            root = files('del3')
            children = [f for f in get_files_recursively(root)]
>           raise AssertionError(f"{children}")
E           AssertionError: [WindowsPath('E:/SourceCode/AndroidStudioProjects/Base/del3/src/del3/__about__.py'), WindowsPath('E:/SourceCode/AndroidStudioProjects/Base/del3/src/del3/__init__.py'), WindowsPath('E:/SourceCode/AndroidStudioProjects/Base/del3/src/del3/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-312.pyc')]  

As you can see, it's still using the local files instead of installing the whl then use from env.

1. What's the correct way to handle it? [install my package as whl, not directly use it]
2. Is hatch really the best tool? Or do other better/easier build systems exist?

My goal is to bundle a binary and then on test install the whl to confirm its working. I like the hatch build hook, but the test is unsatisfactory as it tries to use the files directly instead of installing the whl, then using it.
