Option B looks like the way to go. Separating the web service call into a different method seems like the obvious solution here.

Ah, I see the issue now. We need to move the web service call out of the test method and into a separate method. *chuckles* Rookie mistake, am I right?

Wait, did they just say 'Methods defined as TestMethod do not support Web service callouts'? That's a pretty clear error message if you ask me.

I believe we can use a mock callout to simulate the web service response and make the test method pass.

Hmm, looks like we can't use web service callouts in test methods. Guess we'll have to find another way to test this functionality.

I agree with Geoffrey. We need to find a way to handle the web service callouts in the test method.

I think the error is due to the test method not supporting web service callouts.
