Issue with "25 + 5 Clock" tests suite

Hello everyone,
I am having a hard time understanding why my code doesn’t pass some tests on this project.
I have tests 12, 13, and 15 of the Timer section that are failing.
Tests 13 and 15 both display the following message :

Cannot read properties of null (reading '1')
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '1')

My code is producing the expected behavior but the test seems to be unable to access an element and I couldn’t find which one based on the message provided.

Test 13 displays the following message :

13. When a session countdown reaches zero (NOTE: timer MUST reach 00:00), a new break countdown should begin, counting down from the value currently displayed in the id="break-length" element.
Timer has reached zero but didn't switch to Break time: expected 'Work' to not equal 'Work'
AssertionError: Timer has reached zero but didn't switch to Break time: expected 'Work' to not equal 'Work'

I can see the message switch as expected but it says it doesn’t. Maybe the test happens before the message is updated? I tried updating it earlier but it still doesn’t pass. I can’t tell why it doesn’t notice it

You can have a look at my code in this pen

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you look closely, you can see that when the clock hits 00:00, the timer shows a negative number for a very short moment. Hardly noticable. But following from there, I deleted one character from your code, and that made all tests pass.

I had not noticed that glitch. I fixed one condition and it is working. Thank you so much.
