[truncated extra lines, please run pre-commit locally to view full check results]

To run the pre-commit checks locally, you can follow below steps:

1. Ensure that default python is python3. In sonic-mgmt docker container, default python is python2. You can run
   the check by activating the python3 virtual environment in sonic-mgmt docker container or outside of sonic-mgmt
   docker container.
2. Ensure that the pre-commit package is installed:

sudo pip install pre-commit

3. Go to repository root folder
4. Install the pre-commit hooks:

pre-commit install

5. Use pre-commit to check staged file:

pre-commit

6. Alternatively, you can check committed files using:

pre-commit run --from-ref <commit_id> --to-ref <commit_id>

@vperumal
Instead of adding a skip here for a specific HW SKU, can this be changed in the Cisco platform code on the handling of "sudo watchdogutil status" to error out or produce no output so that the test is naturally skipped with existing code?
When Cisco is ready to handle it, then you can change your code to respond with proper response and we do not need to change this test code again?
Have you considered this approach instead?
