Build a Media Catalogue - Step 8

Tell us what’s happening:

I do not understand what is wrong with my code on step 8 of building the MediaCatalogue. The message I get back is that I should use an f-string in my except: block to print a message. Isn’t that what I am doing here?

Your code so far

class Movie:
    def __init__(self, title, year, director, duration):
        if not title.strip():
            raise ValueError('Title cannot be empty')
        if year < 1895:
            raise ValueError('Year must be 1895 or later')
        if not director.strip():
            raise ValueError('Director cannot be empty')
        if duration <= 0:
            raise ValueError('Duration must be positive')
        self.title = title
        self.year = year
        self.director = director
        self.duration = duration

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.title} ({self.year}) - {self.duration} min, {self.director}'

I forgot the space between “Validation” and “Error”. Figured it out 5 sec after posting.
