Your code works on my end. Please reset the step and try again.

3

I keep trying but it just doesnt work, ill try tomorrow ig

Sorry to hear that. Here the full list of things you can try:

Click on the “Restart Step” button and force a refresh of your page with CTRL + F5 then try to paste the code in again.

or - Try the step in incognito or private mode.

or - Disable any/all extensions that interface with the freeCodeCamp website (such as Dark Mode, Ad Blockers, or Spellcheckers), and set your browser zoom level to 100%. Both of these factors can cause tests to fail erroneously.

or - Ensure your browser is up-to-date or try a different browser.

I hope one of these will work for you.

I have discovered something, it only fails in this part im doing, the part where I add elements to the DOM wont accept any correct answer for me, I skipped to step 15 and my solutions work again. Im somehow not able to solve from 11-14, weird.

6

update, the step 21 does the same as 11-14, I cannot pass tests that involve template literals

7

If you’ve gone through all of the steps to try to correct it, you may want to create a new topic under the “freeCodeCamp Support” category or open a GitHub issue for this.

8

please if you create a support post (or an issue), include the errors you get in the browser console, the one you open with F12 (probably? it depends on the browser)

try clearing the cache of your browser, or try updating your browser to the latest version or try a different browser

this issue mentions an await related error, you can add your experience there, make sure to report which browser you are using, and the error you are getting
