Build an SQL Reference Object - Build an SQL Reference Object

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello everybody! The problem I’m encountering basically is everything I type in the terminal passes. I tried restarting from scratch a couple of time, same problem. I’m working on a local setup, deleted the workspace cache of vs code and the container, rebuilt it, same problem.
In the screenshot I added you can understand better what I mean, I can literally type ANYTHING and the test passes!
Any help would be much appreciated.

I just found out that there was already a post about this, sorry for wasting anyone time, but the post was reeeally far down the list. I ordered by ‘relevance’….

would be good to post a link to the post that helped (so if someone else reads yours first, they know about it)

Hi, tbh I had the same problem again after I posted, always a pass no matter what, but I just noticed the challenge is not in the curriculum anymore, at least I’m not seeing it right now. Do you confirm?

it is still in the curriculum https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/relational-databases-v9/workshop-sql-reference-object/build-an-sql-reference-object

Oh yes now I see it. Btw any idea how to fix my problem with it?

your environment is broken, you need to fix it

I don’t know, I keep doing the other tutorials with no problem at all. I’ve tried deleting the container, the docker images and the vs code workspace cache, but nothing seems to fix this tutorial for me.
Note that I’ve ran the other tutorials after just cleaning the vs code workspace cache and they were just fine.

create a brand new directory for this tutorial, and then go through the setup process in that brand new directory (must have a new name that you’ve never used before)
See how that goes.
