Why the PollingIntervalTest test_getlastupdate_no_change with the error "could not convert the string to float" in the Self-Test Suite for Sonos

Question

I launched the Sonos Self-Test Suite which is available here , and everything goes with the exception of this one error, and I'm not sure why

Test case: PollingIntervalTest test_getlastupdate_no_change
Instance messages: could not convert string to float

...more output...

Here my service returns:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="http://www.sonos.com/Services/1.1">

        <pollInterval>30</pollInterval>
     </getLastUpdateResult>
   </tns:getLastUpdateResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

It seems almost identical to the sample responses in the Sonos API docs . You can see that pollInterval does not have the type information specified in SOAP XML, so I'm struggling to understand how this error occurs because of what I am doing.

Am I doing something wrong, or could it be a problem with the test suite itself?
