If else loop is skipping if clause [if(2 > 1) ] and moving straight to dead code in the else clause. gRPC instantiation

I'm in the midst of the crunchier end of a gRPC project and I have no idea what is going wrong in this rpc. I am testing the RPC with Bloom and it is continually just executing the final clause and skipping the first one. Had thought it was a gRPC issue but after a lot of editing I tried changing the loop to a guaranteed true just to ensure it was executable and it continued to skip over it.

I am relatively new so I am sure I made some terrible design choices but I can't see anything catastrophically bad. Project was created with Maven for what it is worth

            }else {
                int space = CapacityService.MaleWC().getCapacity() - CapacityService.MaleWC().getPopulation();
                if(space < 0) {
                    space = 0;//Ensure no negative value for return
                }
                trigger++;
                String result2 = "Male Bathroom is currently available for use";

            //end of do loop
        }while(trigger < 3000);
        responseObserver.onCompleted();
        
        

        
    }else {
        //failure, wrong number entered. TO DO
        responseObserver.onCompleted();
    }

}

The MaleWC object is a message from a different services proto being imported here and instantiated at the top. What may possibly be of note is that I was unable to import the proto file where the Room message was created into the proto file with the MWClock service but I don't know if that affects anything. I'm also not overly sure if the static access warning could be causing the issue

@SuppressWarnings("static-access")
@Override
    public static Room MaleWC() {
    return Room.newBuilder()
            .setCapacity(3)
            .setPopulation(0)
            .setLock(false)
            .build();
}

The server is definitely working from what I can tell. It just keeps jumping to the else clause. Can anyone shed some light? Can share the proto file for the service if it's needed but I'm guessing the proto is fine as it's returning the correct stuff from the else statement, unless the issue was caused by the importing snaffoo mentioned earlier.
