I see. I guess I assumed that a module-level variable would be invariant across the transactions, but clearly not (and I didn’t notice the milliseconds difference).
With a static database value then my tests do pass.
Cheers,
E.

As each function will be evaluated separately, the current dateTime
value will be different for each function call. Your code should work
if you replace current-dateTime() by current-date() or any other
static value.
