Sorry could not add code until the post was approved.
You have a syntax error in the code (extra }).
Anyway, remove unique: true from the username in your personSchema and delete your collection on MongoDB Atlas. Then try it again, you should pass now, at least I do with your code and my own DB.
I removed unique: true, but I do not see any extra brackets. I deleted the collection and still have no luck.
Could deleting the old database entirely and creating a new one help?
Did you try?
As I said, your code was passing for me after I updated the schema and used a fresh collection. You should have been getting an error about unique values using the previous schema.
Yes I updated the schema and deleted and recreated the database, however my code is still failing. Now test 15 also fails, however I agree that my code does the required actions. Could it be my browser or OS? I tried the tests on brave and chrome on my mac with no luck. Where were you seeing the unique errors? Thanks again for your responses.
Here is a preview from the web console
{_id: "675794c47148e505802201f2", username: "fcc_test_17337929641", count: 1,…}
count: 1
log: [{description: "test", duration: 60, date: "Mon Dec 09 2024"}]
0: {description: "test", duration: 60, date: "Mon Dec 09 2024"}
username: "fcc_test_17337929641"
_id: "675794c47148e505802201f2"
Could be an issue with the date. Make sure your system clock is correct.
Some people have better luck using Gitpod, Replit, or Glitch with date related issues when running locally.
Yes this was the issue, my code worked perfectly on Gitpod. How frustrating! Thank you for all your help + efforts, I really appreciate it!
