Build a Boilerplate - Build a Boilerplate

Tell us what’s happening:

The first task in the workshop, ‘echo hello terminal’ is not passing the test. I’ve typed in the command and hit enter, but the test is not automatically running. I’ve tried hitting the run button, but it tells me ‘tests should pass’. I’ve also tried exiting out of the terminal and opening a new one, and resetting the project. Thus far, nothing is working.

I’ve checked other forum threads, but can’t find much that helps here.

I’m working in Chromium on Linux Mint, as my Waterfox browser simply wouldn’t load the CodeRoad extension at all.

(Chromium details: Version 149.0.7827.114 (Official Build) for Linux Mint (64-bit) on X11)

your screenshot shows a broken environment (the prompt is green instead of the blue we expect to see)

my suggestion is to try closing this terminal that you have there, close the coderoad panel too, then run rebuild again, then after that, restart coderoad and click Start.
After that wait long enough for the instructions to be shown and then open a new terminal to see if the prompt is blue or not.

Thank you, that got it working. I had to run it a couple times before it would take, but got there eventually! =)

Great. I think sometimes people click start and don’t wait enough time for the background installs to complete. Unfortunately it is not always obvious that one has to wait longer.
