Tell us what’s happening:

Terminal says I’m connected to “mario_database” but lesson doesn’t pass responding with “You should be connected to “mario_database”.

Challenge: “Connect to your newly named database so you can start adding your characters.”.

Terminal output:

postgres=# \c mario_database
You are now connected to database “mario_database” as user “postgres”.
mario_database=# \c second_database
You are now connected to database “second_database” as user “postgres”.
second_database=# \c mario_database
You are now connected to database “mario_database” as user “postgres”.
mario_database=# SELECT current_database();
mario_database=#
±-----------------+
| current_database |
±-----------------+
| mario_database |
±-----------------+
(1 row)

mario_database=#

Lesson response: "You should be connected to “mario_database”.

I’ve tried 2 different codespaces and now local build, all with same issue on same challenge.

Thank you for your response and apologies for my late response; I ran into another issue with “test runner failed” but finally resolved.

Before the “test runner failed” issue I did try your suggestion along with several other troubleshooting suggestions like starting a new codespace and moving to a local setup; all of which still resulted in being stuck on the same challenge (“connect to your newly created mario_database”). I just now passed that challenge after deleting and re-cloning the rdb-alpha repo and deleting a few files on my side that were keeping me from being able to start a fresh tutorial. This was the fix that resolved the “test runner failed” issue and I assume (but don’t understand why) also resolved the original issue of being stuck on this challenge.

Hopefully that info is helpful for others having these issues.

Thanks again
