Arithmetic Formatter Project Help with Error Output

[gimourginas]

Hi. I need some help with this project.
When I run my code on my PC, using the test cases, the output “looks” fine.

In replit , I am failing only one test and don’t understand the error output – any direction would be great.

I copied the failing test input parameters to main.py before the auto test and I added
‘’‘print(repr (arithmetic_arranger ([“3 + 855”, “3801 - 2”, “45 + 43”, “123 + 49”])))’‘’
the output from the main.py test repr is:
‘’‘’’ 3 3801 45 123\n+ 855 - 2 + 43 + 49\n----- ------ ---- -----’
This shows a single newline – the test package assert remains the same and the test package test FAILS.

Here is the error output from the test package:

________________ test_template[test_four_problems_arrangement] _________________

arguments = [[]]
expected_output = '    3      3801      45      123\n+ 855    -    2    + 43    +  49\n-----    ------    ----    -----'
fail_message = 'Expected different output when calling "arithmetic_arranger()" with ["3 + 855", "3801 - 2", "45 + 43", "123 + 49"]'

    @pytest.mark.parametrize('arguments,expected_output,fail_message', test_cases)
    def test_template(arguments, expected_output, fail_message):
        actual = arithmetic_arranger(*arguments)
>       assert actual == expected_output, fail_message
E       AssertionError: Expected different output when calling "arithmetic_arranger()" with ["3 + 855", "3801 - 2", "45 + 43", "123 + 49"]

E         + '\n\n'

It seems to be saying that you are returning a string with only two newline characters. Hard to say why that’s happening without seeing your code.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

How do I edit my own post. I can’t follow your user interface – very confused.

Thank you for the help.

Solution Found. Reloaded the template files and all tests passed.
