Tell us what’s happening:

I am not sure why I keep failing the tests, when It passes everything I throw at it. Please help. I left notes in the code.

Fails: 18,19,21,25,27

Your code so far

    'theme': 'dark',

    key = key_value[0].lower()
    value = key_value[1].lower()
    if key in setting:
        return f"Setting '{key}' already exists! Cannot add a new setting with this name."
    else:

Welcome to the forum @brian86!

Does this match exactly to the text in the instructions? And should there be a space after the colon?

Why are you applying the str() method? Isn’t the key already a string?

Is this the correct way to remove a dictionary item? What dictionary method should you use instead?

Working with Dictionaries and Sets - What Are Dictionaries, and How Do They Work? | Learn | freeCodeCamp.org

What type of quotes should be wrapped around key in this message?

Please review User Story #5. Does key_value represent just the key?

Happy coding!
