“run the test” doesnt do anything. ive exercised all other options and believe my code is correct but nothing is happening. please help, this happens at least once a day through my freecodecamp life
Your code so far
// Setup
const outerWear = "T-Shirt";
function myOutfit() {
// Only change code below this line
const outerWear = "sweater";
// Only change code above this line
return outerWear;
}
myOutfit();

When you say doesn't do anything, does it say Running Tests below the Tests section?
Which browser are you using? If it is Safari, there could be a problem with the tests as it may not have some of the latest JavaScript features available to modern browsers such as Chrome and Firefox. Try the same code in Chrome and let us know if the tests pass for you.
when i click on “run the test” absolutely nothing happens. the button changes color when i hover over it, when clicked, nothing happens at all. I have tried to use the shortcut “CTRL + Enter” and nothing happens when trying that too.
Your code passes for me. If you open your the Chrome brower’s console ( Option + ⌘ + J) on your Mac and then click the button, do you see any error messages there. You may have to clear the console first before running the tests. The clear console button looks like .
Can you click the clear button before clicking Run Tests and then show the screenshot again? You may have already done so, but just want to make sure what we are seeing is just related to the button click.
Sounds more like an issue unrelated to freeCodeCamp. I don’t see it having anything to do with these specific challenge tests as they are just simple string compares.
If the issue was consistent it might be some browser management policies or other restrictions but with it happening intermittently like that it sounds more like a network issue.
When it happens reset the challenge and do a hard refresh Shift + F5 to make sure you are re-downloading everything.
You can also try opening the Network tab in the dev tools and refresh again with it open to see if anything is being blocked. Check the “disable cache” checkbox as well (on the Network tab).
