Tell us what’s happening:

All tests for the chart fail but when I call the method it seems to work just fine. I have no clue what is going on

Your code so far

Welcome to the forum @drach3nland,

To see what your function returns in the console, wrap your function call with print.

You should have a function outside the Category class named create_spend_chart(categories) that takes a list of categories and returns a bar-chart string.

Does your function return anything?

Happy coding

You’re right, forgot that part. Thank you! Only solved one of all the issues though

If you need more help, please post your updated code, formatted as follows:

There are two ways you can format your code to make it easier to read and test:

  1. After you copy/paste your code into the editor, select it by dragging your cursor over it then click the (</>) button in the toolbar to automatically wrap your code in backticks. (You can click on the animated demo image below to enlarge it.)

  1. Manually add three backticks on a new line above your code and on a new line after your code. Note that a backtick is NOT the same as a single quote('). To find the backtick key on your keyboard, see this post.

To see changes to your post as you make them, you can click the (M+) button on the toolbar to bring up the rich text editor:
