Why is this NUnit test failing?

Question

This is an "extension" of the question here

I am now running two instances of Visual Studio / the solution. I start one, and then in the other I access the context menu for this test:

public enum HttpMethods
{
    GET = 0,
    PUT,
    POST,
    DELETE,
    HEAD,
    OPTIONS,
    LIST,
    UNKNOWN
}

[Test]
public HttpWebRequest TestHHSDeliveryItemInterfacePostPPTData()
{
    var DeliveryItem = IOC.container.Resolve<IHHSDeliveryItem>();

    string data = @"<note>
                        <to>Tove</to>
                        <from>Jani</from>
                        <heading>Reminder</heading>
                        <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
                    </note>";
    string uri = "http://localhost:21609/api/deliveryitems/InsertIntoPPTData";
    WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(uri);
    request.Method =  //Enum.ToObject(typeof(HttpMethods), HHTPMethods.).ToString();
    request.ContentType = "application/json";
    ((HttpWebRequest)request).Accept = request.ContentType;
    ((HttpWebRequest)request).KeepAlive = false;
    ((HttpWebRequest)request).ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10;

    Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8; // never used
    byte[] arrData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
    request.ContentLength = arrData.Length;
    using (Stream oS = request.GetRequestStream())
    {
        oS.Write(arrData, 0, arrData.Length);
    }

    if (DeliveryItem.InsertIntoPPTData((HttpWebRequest)request))
    {
        return request as HttpWebRequest;
    }
    else
    {
        return null;
    }
}

...and select "Debug Test." Tragically, though, I (again) never reach the breakpoint I've set (on the first line above, the assignment to "DeliveryItem "). And the Output pane is then filled with the following logsam and dumpsam:

Note: I am able to successfully run simple tests in this manner; this one is problematic for some reason...

UPDATE

Okay, that was really bizarre: that code compiled, even though an assignment was commented out. It is now:

request.Method = Enum.ToObject(typeof(HttpMethods), HttpMethods.POST).ToString();

UPDATE 2

I have replaced the return type of the method with void, and the if/else block at the end with:

Assert.IsNotNull(request);

UPDATE 3

I had forgotten to add the line of code that actually sends the request (it doesn't seem real transparent to me the way it works), so after writing to the stream in using block I now have:

WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Assert.IsNotNull(response);

...but I'm still getting an epoch, if not epic fail:

Good thought; I got so caught up in the "regular" code, I forgot the test code. — B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven, Jul 07 '14 at 18:34
Which makes me wonder; since the pattern/standard is to always end with an Assert (so it seems to me, I'm a newb[ie,y] to unit testing) do tests always need to return void? Otherwise, if you return, as I am here, the Assert would not get reached. — B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven, Jul 07 '14 at 18:37
Do you use a method with the attribute [SetUp]? Why has your Test function a return value instead of void - what do you expect the unit test runner to do with that? — Bernhard Hiller, Jul 08 '14 at 10:47
@BernhardHiller: See my last comment (I already changed that to void) — B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven, Jul 08 '14 at 15:04

Why is this NUnit test failing?
