Build a Celestial Bodies Database - Build a Celestial Bodies Database

Backend Development

Tell us what’s happening:

I am unable to start the Celestial Bodies Database project because CodeRoad keeps showing me the last screen of the previous project ("“Learn Relational Databases by Building a Database of Video Game Characters”). That screen congratulates me that I completed tutorial. I follow all the instructions for local setup, but nothing seems to work. I even tried removing the rdb-alpha folder (rm -r rdb-alpha) and cloning it again, and tried the steps from another post to remove all docker images.

Your code so far

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

  1. I’m trying to do this on my local machine (MacBook Air).
  2. I never get the option to “Start New Tutorial”
  3. If I “Open New Workspace” and then run “Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container” and “CodeRoad: Start”, I get an error, I think from CodeRoad, “Select an empty VSCode Workspace”.

I solved my own problem. Apparently, fully deleting the cloned rdb-alpha folder from the previous tutorial does not solve the problem.

Instead, a switched to another local folder (made a new /rdb-alpha2 folder), and cloned a new instance of rdb-alpha into that folder, so now I have /rdb-alpha2/rdb-alpha.

After switching to that folder and launching a new VSCode instance, I was able to follow the remaining instructions and get to a CodeRoad window where I could paste the URL for the new “Build a Celestial Bodies Database” project.
