[Since the latest `devel` version only supports python\>=3.12](https://forum.ansible.com/t/ansible-core-devel-drops-support-for-python-3-11-on-controller/44187), and `ubuntu-latest` only provides python 3.11, my tests are failing now.

How do I solve that issue?

I tried to quick-and-dirty disable testing on devel by commenting the following line:

> <https://github.com/Hoeze/ansible-collection-conda/blob/ba12fad050bcdf3d528cd6686d940bbf0800a407/.github/workflows/ansible-test.yml#L171>

However, this disabled ALL tests, not only the devel ones.

I did create a PR to fix this in April ([Add Python versions for ansible-core 2.16 to 2.19 by felixfontein · Pull Request #96 · ansible-community/ansible-test-gh-action · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-test-gh-action/pull/96)), but nothing happened. (CI for the GitHub action seems to be broken as well.)

You could use my fork of the action ([GitHub - felixfontein/ansible-test-gh-action: A composite GitHub Action encapsulating the GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows setup necessary for testing Ansible collection repositories on GitHub](https://github.com/felixfontein/ansible-test-gh-action/)) where I already fixed this a longer time ago. Please note that I will likely no longer update my fork since I switched all my collections to antsibull-nox and its shared workflow ([Running nox in CI - antsibull-nox – Antsibull Nox Helper](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/antsibull-nox/nox-in-ci/#running-ansible-test-ci-matrix-from-nox)), but at least for now the fork should fix your problems.

The action has been fixed BTW.
