So I have a outlet protected by a gfci breaker, and if you use the plug test the gfci doesn't trigger . I replaced the gfci breaker and the outlet still fails the test. The outlet seems to work otherwise.

When i plug in the tester it shows all green, though during the gfci test it shows hot neutral reverse. This confuses me as I didn't think the gfci test button impacts the lights .

Any idea what may be causing this ?
