What's driving me crazy is that if I change the name of the service being
passed to something like "thisdoesnotexist" I don't get an error. I would
expect to see a error when it reaches this line in the function:
service, err := manager.OpenService(name)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("service %s does not exist: %v", name, err)
}
