I’m the author of the pfsensible.core collection. My ansible unit tests are now failing in github actions with: ```auto [gw2] linux -- Python 3.10.16 /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.10.16/x64/bin/python self = def test_vlan_delete_unexistent(self): """ test deletion of a vlan """ vlan = dict(vlan_id=1200, interface='vmx1') > self.do_module_test(vlan, delete=True, changed=False) tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_pfsense_vlan.py:122: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ tests/unit/plugins/modules/pfsense_module.py:171: in do_module_test result = self.execute_module(changed=changed, failed=failed, msg=msg) tests/unit/plugins/modules/pfsense_module.py:144: in execute_module result = self.changed(changed) tests/unit/plugins/modules/pfsense_module.py:203: in changed self.module.main() plugins/modules/pfsense_vlan.py:77: in main module = AnsibleModule( /tmp/ansible-test-_yh7xkcf/ansible/module_utils/basic.py:416: in __init__ self._load_params() /tmp/ansible-test-_yh7xkcf/ansible/module_utils/basic.py:1214: in _load_params self.params = _load_params() /tmp/ansible-test-_yh7xkcf/ansible/module_utils/basic.py:326: in _load_params buffer = sys.stdin.buffer.read() _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ def read(self, size: int = -1) -> str: > raise OSError( "pytest: reading from stdin while output is captured!

See [Workflow runs · pfsensible/core · GitHub](https://github.com/pfsensible/core/actions) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ---

Check out [Making a collection compatible with data tagging - #2 by felixfontein](https://forum.ansible.com/t/41717/2), that’s very likely what makes your test fail. ---

Really? I’m only testing with core 2.14-2.17. Also, currently using: ```auto from ansible_collections.community.internal_test_tools.tests.unit.plugins.modules.utils import set_module_args ``` and not mucking with \_ANSIBLE\_ARGS. ---

Could this be related to utilizing `community.internal_test_tools` but not pinning the version to use? I’ve never used that collection, but maybe a change to `ModuleTestCase‎` has caused it. And without pinning the version of that collection, if behavior changed, it could cause your tests to break. ---

It _is_ related to community.internal\_test\_tools 0.15.0, which has a breaking change, see the changelog: [community.internal\_test\_tools/CHANGELOG.md at main · ansible-collections/community.internal\_test\_tools · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.internal_test_tools/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v0-15-0) Basically CI has been broken for three weeks (since 0.15.0 has been released), but since nothing ran in [Workflow runs · pfsensible/core · GitHub](https://github.com/pfsensible/core/actions) since then it was kind of invisible 🙂 ---

(0.16.0 should be out soon with DT support, once I figure out why the codecov uploader is suddenly failing…) (Update: 0.16.0 is out by now.) ---

Switching to `with set_module_args(args):` did the trick. Thanks! ---
