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.

Your code so far

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’….

5

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?

7

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

8

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

9

your environment is broken, you need to fix it

10

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.

11

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.

12

It’s not my environment to be broken, I did all the other tutorial with no problems at all. Then I did this too with the Ona setup, I’ve completed it but in the curriculum it isn’t checked.

Since is not a required project I’ll leave it like that, there’s no way I’m doing a 240 step tutorial for the nth time!

Hi, I completed it with the Ona setup, but it shows unchecked in the curriculum. I’m ok with that, don’t want to waste again 2 hrs on it. Fortunately is not a required project.
But thanks, I appreciate the help.

14

the check mark will come if the last step in the tutorial is completed and then you refresh the page in the fcc side. (provided your user token was placed in the proper spot as per the instructions)

15

mmm… about the last step, I completed it, regarding the token, I placed it in the secrets. Was I supposed to place it in the personal access tokens ?!

no, you need to follow the instructions in the challenge page, put it in the secrets

17

ok, because that’s where I put it, in the secrets. So why was it not being registered ?

18

did you log out of freeCodeCamp? that would delete the token

19

No, I didn’t log out, I needed the tutorial url, so I’m pretty sure about that.
