calculate_area_for_selection on unit tests after 2.9.0 upgrade

After upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 2.9.0 , my unit tests running arcpy.management.CalculateGeometryAttributes

have been failing with the error below.

The code works inside the ArcGIS Pro application without issue, but fails when run from the command line.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I cannot add a column to the layer. It would be nice if Add Geometry Attributes had a parameter for the column.

I looked into CalculateField_management with an Arcade expression, which works, but the spatial reference seems to be limited to a wkid , which returns different results than the more specific spacial reference I am using in the original command.

The issue is new, as it did not occur prior to 2.9.0 . I will submit a ticket.
