Tell us what’s happening:

The Course Keeps failing a step, although it should not, because the code does what the step says it should do

It keeps returning:
“Your script should call the suggested function correctly”

Can someone help me out? I’m doing the Bash Scripting workshop

Link: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/relational-databases-v9/workshop-bash-five-programs/build-five-programs

I’m doing it on the virtual machine (vscode)

The current level task:
Now, your function will print one thing if you pass it any argument, and something else if not. In the until loop, add again as an argument to where you call the function.

All the hints of the level:

  1. Here’s an example: FUNCTION_NAME argument

  2. Your function call should look like this: GET_FORTUNE again

  3. Your until loop should look like this:

until [[ $QUESTION =~ \?$ ]]
do
  GET_FORTUNE again
done

All of the code in my ./fortune.sh file


#! /bin/bash

# Program to tell a persons fortune
echo -e "\n~~ Fortune Teller ~~\n"

RESPONSES=("Yes" "No" "Maybe" "Outlook good" "Don't count on it" "Ask again later")

echo ${RESPONSES[$N]}

N=$(( RANDOM % 6 ))

GET_FORTUNE() {
  if [[ ! $1 ]]
    then
        echo Ask a yes or no question:
        read QUESTION
  else 
        echo Try again. Make sure it ends with a question mark:
  fi
}

until [[ $QUESTION =~ \?$ ]]
do
  GET_FORTUNE again
done

Yet the level doesn’t pass. I have refreshed, closed the codespace and reopened it. I am almost done with this 220-step workshop. I don’t want to start again

Your code so far

Hi @Bukki

It looks like you modified parts of the code you were not asked to modify.

Please reset the step and try again.

Happy coding

I have reset the step multiple times. Now it says “Test Runner Failed”
