Build a User Configuration Manager

I’m not sure why tests 4 and 5 are currently not accepting.

I made sure key and value are lower cased.

def add_setting(settings, key_value_pair):
    key, value = key_value_pair
    key = key.lower()
    value = value.lower()

    if key in test_settings:
        return f"Setting '{key}' already exists! Cannot add a new setting with this name."

test_settings = {
    "brightness": 80,
    "volume": 57,
    "screen_mode": "dark",
    "theme": "dark"
}

print(add_setting(test_settings, ("THEME", "Light")))

Complete your add_setting function and the test should pass. You still need to add the new value to the given key and return the success message.

So, I did finish the add_setting function and finished more of the project, but I still get tests 4 and 5 and even 7 off.

def add_setting(settings, new_pair):
    key = new_pair[0].lower()
    value = new_pair[1].lower()

    if key in test_settings:
        return f"Setting '{key}' already exists! Cannot add a new setting with this name."
    else:
        settings.update({ key:value })
        return f"Setting '{key}' added with value '{value}' successfully!"

test_settings = {
    "brightness": 80,
    "volume": 57,
    "screen_mode": "dark",
    "theme": "dark"
}

print(add_setting(test_settings, ("Size_Screen", "LOW")))

def update_setting(settings, key_value_pair):
    key, value = key_value_pair
    key = key.lower()
    value = value.lower()

I found the solution…it was a bit of a “DUH” moment.

I had the function check for my test settings dictionary instead of the parameter settings in the function. :stuck_out_tongue:

Since 2022, the test criteria can only be validated if you’ve typed it the way “they” want!

def add_setting(x, y):
    updated_y = tuple(i.lower() if isinstance(i, str) else i for i in y)

Even while this block of code can literally lowercase everything in the tuple that is a string, yet the criteria cannot validate it lol.
However, thanks for the help for such a silly issue, have a wonderful day!

this project is not here since 2022, only 2025

things can change, if there is valid code that should pass you can open an issue on GitHub
