Is there any advice on how to use this in github actions test runs

[borisnieuwenhuis]

It works fine on my local.
On github actions I get this error:

Can you provide a bit more context? pytest-databases generally works on GitHub actions, that's how we run its test suite as well.

[borisnieuwenhuis]

I am using "pytest-databases[redis]>=0.12.3",

Seting up a RedisService in a fixture

if TYPE_CHECKING:
    from pytest_databases.docker.redis import RedisService

@pytest_asyncio.fixture(name="redis", autouse=True)
async def fx_redis(redis_service: RedisService) -> AsyncGenerator[Redis, None]:
    """Redis instance for testing.

    Returns:
        Redis client instance, function scoped.
    """
    logger.info(f"redis_service: {redis_service}")
    yield Redis(host=redis_service.host, port=redis_service.port)

And use it in a test

async def test_timeframe_service(redis: Redis)

The tests pass on local, but it breaks when I run it on github actions on runs-on: ubuntu-latest
Not sure what more context I can give.

[provinzkraut]

How did you set up the action? How are you running pytest in there?

The snippet you shared definitely works on its own. As I said, we run the tests in GitHub actions as well, you can see how we're doing it here: https://github.com/litestar-org/pytest-databases/blob/abc016acfc4d2f9ebd808fcc51f93cf5a9ba7aff/.github/workflows/ci.yaml
