Solidity – Testing safeTransferFrom with onlyAllowedOperator Using Chai/Hardhat

I am writing tests for an NFT using safeTransferFrom with onlyAllowedOperator and the tests are failing with and without onlyAllowedOperator. Here's the function:

    function safeTransferFrom(address from, address to, uint256 tokenId) public override onlyAllowedOperator(from) {
        safeTransferFrom(from, to, tokenId);
    }

and here's the test:

  describe("ERC721: safeTransferFrom()", function () {

    it("safeTransferFrom(): Safe Transfer From owner to newOwner (address)", async function () {
      const { nft, owner, operator, newOwner, newOperator, minter } = await loadFixture(deployNFTFixture);

      await nft.mintTo(owner.address); // 1
      
      expect(await nft.balanceOf(owner.address)).to.equal(1);
      expect(await nft.balanceOf(newOwner.address)).to.equal(0);

      await nft.functions["safeTransferFrom(address,address,uint256)"](owner.address, newOwner.address, 1);

      expect(await nft.balanceOf(owner.address)).to.equal(0);
      expect(await nft.balanceOf(newOwner.address)).to.equal(1);

    });
  });

I am getting the following message when I run the test:

ERC721: safeTransferFrom()
         safeTransferFrom(): Safe Transfer From owner to newOwner (address) fails:
     Error: Transaction reverted and Hardhat couldn't infer the reason.

I have no idea why the tokens are not being transferred.
