Regarding Issue #1203 "Request: Implement item module"

[ljvdhooft]

Hi, not sure why tests failed. Ran them again with a Ansible-docker container closer to the actions runner, all tests passed successfully..

@ljvdhooft you're getting an error during the test.

This probably has to do with some parameters that are not suitable for all item types. This makes testing a bit difficult. The way it is setup right now is that it makes only one item and changes the type of that item until all items were in use. However, by not setting a specific parameter, this remains set in the Zabbix config making it unable to change to another type of item.

I think it would make more sense to make a new item for each type, since that would be the more practical case too. Would tests like this qualify for a PR?

[pyrodie18]

That is totally ok.

#1222 is also working on adding this.
