This code is good and passes the test for me.

Is it possible you accidentally deleted the rest of the function? Can you see the function definition?

Try to reset the step and try again.

It should work, unless if you do not indent the code (since if not encrypt: is intended to be inside a function).

Had the same issue, but turned out than i started typing code right after line “11”, so it considered the code to be outside caeser function, so it couldn’t pass. Maybe it could help somebody
