It seems there is some interaction with previous test in same file
which is causing this failure as we are using the primary node from
previous test. When I tried to comment out get_changes and its
corresponding injection_point in the previous test as attached, the
entire test passed. I think if we use a freshly created primary node,
this test will pass but I wanted to spend some more time to see
how/why previous test is causing this issue?
