Hello,

I am writing to report an issue I’ve encountered while submitting a challenge.

Description

I have submitted my solution for a challenge, and all tests are passing. The “confetti” animation is displayed, confirming that my code is correct according to the test suite. However, my progress is not updating, and the “Proceed to next challenge” popup is not appearing. I have re-submitted the solution several times, but the result remains the same.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to the challenge page.
  2. Paste the correct solution into the code editor.
  3. Click the “Run the tests” button.
  4. Observe the “confetti” animation and the “Tests passing” message.
  5. Expected: A popup appears, and progress is updated.
  6. Actual: The popup does not appear, and my progress on the challenge is not recorded.

Could you please advise on what might be causing this? Is this a known issue, or is there something I should be checking on my end?

Thank you for your assistance.

P.S. im using localhost:3000 with running instance at the time of submission since it has worked for previous challenges/projects.

P.P.S. Deployed to Vercel, replaced localhost with vercel deployment link. Tests passed but still no popup.

is that the actual url to your repository?

there is a message below the source code link for you

Yes, “https://github.com/Guccifer808/url-shortener-microservice.freecodecamp.rocks..git” is in fact link to my private github repo.

Are you saying that I cant git clone provided repo, code a solution locally, create new private repo, set new url with my remote origin, commit+push? Because flow like this did work for previous 2 projects.

P.P.S. Deployed to Vercel, replaced localhost with vercel deployment link. Tests passed but still no popup.

that is an issue, as you are submitting your code, and the link is being saved, it must be public

why are you using the freecodecamp.rocks in the name?

Weird since I had no issues with 2 previous projects( Timestamp Microservice, Request Headers), ill try with public repo for this specific project.

Im using “freecodecamp.rocks” in the name, as i did in 2 previous projects, since I decided to copy 1st sentence at the task page with some cleanup and use it for repo name in order to speedup my process.

Made repo public, renamed.

Issue solved, thanks for your assistance.
