I brought the "plug into ethernet" solution to Brian and while it was true for me that we couldn't access Tracy via a wireless network, Brian was able to access it just fine even within the devcontainer. Brian is now having an email conversation with IT to resolve what must be a server permissions issue. |

Resolves Issue #465
When we try to connect to Tracy in our application we get a connection error:
pyodbc.OperationalError: ('08S01', '[08S01] [FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unable to connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist (20009) (SQLDriverConnect)')Solution
Some simple code refactoring for clarity (not integral to the solution) as well as connecting your laptop to ethernet before attempting to connect to Tracy from within a devcontainer. In testing, our Tracy connection fails whenever we're connected to either BCSecure or BereaBYOD but when we plug our laptops into ethernet, the connection works with no issues:
Tests passed! The file executes as intended without error.
To Test
Swap to our branch
devcontainer_tracy_connection, open VS Code in the LSF devcontainer, connect to Ethernet, put the Tracy password in the secret_config.yaml file and then runpython db_test.pyand ensure that it exits with no errors.
