Comment (by hbhalodia):

 Hi @wildworks, The tests were failing because, I had one feedback here --
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/9277#discussion_r2824097168, to use get_comments function
 instead of using direct DB query. When I changed that, it looks perfect,
 but get_comments, egarly loads the comment meta which fails the
 `metaCache` test as we see which needs to be lazily loaded.

 For now, I have updated the get_comments call to use
 `'update_comment_meta_cache' => false,`, which prevents preload the
 comment meta and use lazyload mechanism (wp_lazyload_comment_meta) to work
 properly just like direct SQL query call.

 Thanks,
