This test has been working with shiboken 6.4.1, but it stopped working after updating to 6.5.1.1. We need the --forked option since otherwise we get into other troubles while testing the gui, probably due to insufficient isolation of the test cases. The python environment is

$ python --version
Python 3.9.2

$ pip freeze
exceptiongroup==1.1.2
iniconfig==2.0.0
packaging==23.1
pluggy==1.2.0
py==1.11.0
PySide6==6.5.1.1
PySide6-Addons==6.5.1.1
PySide6-Essentials==6.5.1.1
pytest==7.4.0
pytest-forked==1.6.0
shiboken6==6.5.1.1
tomli==2.0.1

and a minimal test case showing the problem is this:

$ cat test_dummy.py  
import pytest
import shiboken6

def test_dummy():
   pass

$ pytest --forked test_dummy.py | head -n 80
