# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Fix test isolation for memory tool import fallback

## Open now

- 1 issue, 2 PRs open on GitHub.
- #129293: tests: test_memory_tool_import_fallback leaks fcntl-less tools.memory_tool, breaking TestMemoryFileLockPermissions
- PR #129304: test(memory): restore module state after import fallback
- PR #132279: test(memory): restore tools.memory_tool package attr after fcntl-fallback test

These issues address a test leak where the fcntl-fallback import test leaves a modified tools.memory_tool module state, breaking subsequent tests that depend on normal module behavior. The fix involves restoring module/package attributes after the fallback test runs.
