I’ve run the test over 10 times in a row now, and each run being over 4 minutes long. – those 4 minutes feel like an eternity when I’m only verifying a few lines of code per run. Argh… the problem was so simple, there were a few variables that hadn’t been changed over and a couple of other small syntax errors that weren’t printing error messages because they were in nested functions. And the worst one of all was this: by random chance I was unknowingly testing the highest volume day of the last 9 months; the number of records my program was retrieving were off the charts, so I kept thinking it was stuck in a loop and restarting the test. But it was actually working correctly for the most part! I’m waiting for one last run now, I think it will work. If it does, I’m going to go home and fall asleep exhausted but very happy.
