Oops, that's embarrassing and it isn't even a copy/paste mistake. I have been in this part of the test so many times while cleaning up/debugging and yet didn't notice this. Fixed it in the latest PR update now.

I'll update the rest of this test with your suggestions shortly. Thank you Daniel for the reviews.
