I think I'm missing something. I have multiple problems with random tests, f.i. this SQL:

select movie.directorid, actor.name, director.id FROM director JOIN movie on movie.directorID = director.id JOIN actor_to_movie on actor_to_movie.movieID = movie.id join actor on actor.id = actor_to_movie.actorID where director.name = 'Jon Favreau'

The test expect an empty array as the result, but the database has movies with that director, and the SQL seems to have all the needed joins as far as I can tell. It could be I haven't used SQL in a long time, but I fail to see the problem here.

PS: Btw, I forgot the test result:
Expected: '[]', instead got: '[{ \'movie.directorid\': 5,\n \'actor.name\': \'Robert Downey Jr.\',\n \'director.id\': 5 }, { \'movie.directorid\': 5,\n \'actor.name\': \'Gwyneth Paltrow\',\n \'director.id\': 5 }, { \'movie.directorid\': 5,\n \'actor.name\': \'Terrence Howard\',\n \'director.id\': 5 }, { \'movie.directorid\': 5,\n \'actor.name\': \'Jeff Bridges\',\n \'director.id\': 5 }]'

Oh! I see it now.

Thanks!

That's the first part of the output, after that, inspect logs keep coming but no more bulletin logs, there's only one of those at the top. I copy/paste:

...(many more inspect calls)

As you can see there's only one bulletin, after that all inspections keep coming all together without any other bulletin call.
Also, do you have a date there, at the beginning of the log you copied? I don't have that either.
And I have this error at the end, I'm not sure what it means:

 STDERR
(node:29) [DEP0079] DeprecationWarning: Custom inspection function on Objects via .inspect() is deprecated

Maybe someone could help me, I'm on javascript. I don't understand how the tests work.

I have logs both in my receiveBulletin and inspect functions, and it seems that recieveBulletin is getting called only one time, but from the tests messages I'm seeing that the data passed through that function are supposed to change between cases (wanted person, nations denied or allowed, etc), and I'm failing cases because of this.

I supposed that test cases would call receiveBulletin before inspect, but my logs are not being called(first line of receiveBulletin is "console.log("********* BULLETIN")"...), so the function are not being called and the data are not being updated, therefore the tests fails.

Also, is date supposed to change? I haven't seen anything about this in the description of the kata, only says date is 1982-11-23.

Also, the logs are not next to the each test case, they are all together at the top of the output window and then all the results at the bottom... is this normal? never seen it before this way at codewars.

I love the theme of the kata but... I'm missing something important or it's a really weird kata.
