Help with Record Collection challenge

Tell us what’s happening:

//  When I run the test with this I pass the challenge
console.log(updateRecords(5439, "tracks", "Take a Chance on Me"));

// When I run with this I don't
console.log(updateRecords(5439, "artist", "ABBA"));
or
console.log(updateRecords(5439, "artist", ""));

Your code so far


// Setup
var collection = {
2548: {
  album: "Slippery When Wet",
  artist: "Bon Jovi",
  tracks: [
    "Let It Rock",
    "You Give Love a Bad Name"
  ]
},
2468: {
  album: "1999",
  artist: "Prince",
  tracks: [
    "1999",
    "Little Red Corvette"
  ]
},
1245: {
  artist: "Robert Palmer",
  tracks: [ ]
},
5439: {
  album: "ABBA Gold"
}
};

// Only change code below this line
function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {
if (prop !== "tracks" && value !== "") {
  collection[id][prop] = value;
} else if (prop === "tracks" && collection[id].hasOwnProperty("tracks") == false) {
  collection[id][prop] = [];
} else if (prop === "tracks" && value !== "") {
  collection[id][prop].push(value);
} else {
  delete collection[id][prop];
}

return collection;
}

// Alter values below to test your code
console.log(updateRecords(5439, "artist", ""));

What I did wrong ? :slight_smile:

Well… after 6 hours I noticed that I forgot to put the value paramter inside the array:

else if (prop === "tracks" && collection[id].hasOwnProperty("tracks") == false) {
    collection[id][prop] = [value];
  }

Jesus… :ok_man::man_facepalming:
