Is there an assumption or some other way I can tell Maple to avoid such errors when using odetest, as I get many of them.

I think the solution Maple gives is correct. But odetest generates these strange innternal error that it does not know the sign of a complex number.

restart;
ode:=x^2*diff(y(x), x$2) + (cos(x)-1)*diff(y(x), x) + exp(x)*y(x) = 0;
sol:=dsolve(ode,y(x),series):
odetest(sol,ode,series,point=0);

Error, (in odetest/series) need to determine the sign of I*3^(1/2)

I've seen such error many times before and it is still not fixed in release after release.

I am using Maple 2022.1 on windows 10.
