Unit test code should not be subject to permission checking

Unit test code should not be subject to permission checking as unit tests will never run on the actual device.

In one of my data fields I'm working on I wanted to test my distance calculation, but it's throwing a permission required error (Positioning permission)

Expected behaviour: In the ideal world all code within the unit test code should not be subject to any permission checking at all.

Code to reproduce:
(:test)
function verifyDistanceCalculation(logger) {
var locString = "51.5, 0";
var location1 = Position.parse(locString, Position.GEO_DEG);

/**var location1 = new Position.Location(
{
:latitude => 51.5,
:longitude => 0,
:format => :degrees
}*/
return true;
}
