Tests failing periodically, especially in Github CI

[jonhealy1]

These tests will fail periodically. It happens more frequently in Github ci, for example when making a pr. It seems to mostly happen in python 3.11.

tests/resources/test_item.py::test_field_extension_post - IndexError: list index out of range
tests/resources/test_item.py::test_field_extension_exclude_and_include - IndexError: list index out of range
tests/resources/test_item.py::test_field_extension_exclude_default_includes - IndexError: list index out of range

Can be the reason of that failures that methods are not loading any items as others do?

The test you linked is an old one that is presently being ignored. Load_test_data is not always used in the tests. Tests can also use ctx.item or neither because data is created when the tests start.
