Hello again, Kodi community. I've been continuing to develop an add-on and I ran into an index error (list index out of range) while trying to get a setting from settings.xml. To get to the bottom of the problem, I stripped down the add-on to just the bare minimum functionality while still getting the same error.

addon.py:

python:
import xbmc, xbmcplugin, sys

if (__name__ == '__main__'):

    monitor = xbmc.Monitor()

    while not monitor.abortRequested():

        if monitor.waitForAbort(1):

            break

        testSetting = xbmcplugin.getSetting(int(sys.argv[1]), "testSetting")

        print(str(testSetting))

addon.xml:

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<addon id="script.testing" name="Testing" version="0.0.2">

    <requires>

        <import addon="xbmc.python" version="3.0.0"/>

    </requires>

    <extension point="xbmc.python.script" library="addon.py">

        <provides>executable</provides>

    </extension>

    <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

        <platform>all</platform>

        <license>GNU General Public License, v2</license>

    </extension>

</addon>

settings.xml (inside the resources folder, with labels defined in strings.po inside language/resource.language.en_gb):

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<settings version="1">

    <section id="script.testing">

        <category id="allSettings" label="30001" help="">

            <group id="1">

                 <setting id="testSetting" type="integer" label="30002" help="">

                     <level>0</level>

                     <default>3</default>

                     <constraints>

                         <minimum>0</minimum>

                         <step>1</step>

                         <maximum>3</maximum>

                     </constraints>

                     <control type="slider" format="integer">

                         <popup>false</popup>

                     </control>

                </setting>

            </group>

        </category>

    </section>

</settings>

Any help with troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

in the addon.xml file, you have defined your addon as a script and not as a plugin.
since it's a script, you can not use xbmcplugin.getSetting().

you should be using either xbmcaddon.Addon().getSetting("testSetting")
or xbmcaddon.Addon().getSettingInt("testSetting")

the first one will return the setting value as a string, the second will return it as an integer.

Ah, that explains it. I'll use one of those commands instead. Thank you so much!
