render_template appears to be broken on 4.2.0

[jreed509]

I'm using the home assistant addon and recently updated to the latest version. Calls to hass.render_template() appear to be broken after the upgrade to Appdaemon 4.2.0. All calls to this function seem to return None

For example calling self.render_template("{{ is_state('sun.sun', 'above_horizon')}}") should return a bool, but instead returns None after the latest update. I'm not seeing any error/warning messages in the logs after this call - just the incorrect response.

This call seems to work fine on prior versions.

This is a bug due to the update to the way call_service works.
