New home. I replaced all the old outlets with decos and reinstalled. I plugged in a light, 2 prong, and no issue. I plugged in a tester to check see that the others were wired correctly and the green light came on for a second and then the breaker tripped. I removed all outlets , left wired, to look for a ground fault but nothing. Could this be a problem in the panel?

    is the circuit protected by an AFCI or GFCI breaker? – NoSparksPlease May 15 '21 at 15:32

    Yes, does the breaker in question have a TEST button on it? – ThreePhaseEel May 15 '21 at 15:39

    Did you accidentally hit the "GFCI Test" on the tester? Also, be warned abut those testers with a green light. They are a *much worse version* of [these things](https://diy.stackexchange.com/a/113052/47125) because they don't even give you the raw "3 lights" data, they interpret it *for you*, and many interpretations are misleading and flat wrong, and we see people spend *hours* chasing problems that aren't actually there. – Harper - Reinstate Monica May 15 '21 at 17:42
