Thanks for responding to my post. I did what you mentioned but still doesn’t work.

If you have another suggestion I’ll appreciate it.

[hbar1st]

this terminal has a green prompt which indicates your environment is broken.
you can try to clean up the docker container and volumes and images and try the steps again and see if you can get back to this terminal but in a proper state (after running the rebuild and reopen, and starting the coderoad tutorial, the word camper in the prompt should be blue.)

Thanks for the feedback I’m going to start over from scratch to see if it works.

Updates: I cleaned everything docker images & repo and cloned it again but this time before creating the image inside vscode I installed the extension CodeRoad and it worked but without the web_hook_token yet, so next step I’going to add it, hopfully it will continue working the same as before.

i never needed to install coderoad myself. The container installs it for you.

[jorgesys]

Ok, I think you are right it was not necessary to install the coderoad ext., Then the problem is with the token, so how can I make it work with it?

[jorgesys]

If I understood what you wrote in other post I read. I can advance in the course without the token being only necessary at the last command to complete and save progress to my freecodecamp account. Please correct me if I’m wrong. And thanks for your help.

I don’t know what is missing or how do I have to add the web_hook_token to save progress. I was at 96 % almost at the end then I decided to paste the token in the Dockerfile & fallowed instructions : Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container but it failed again. Not able to finish using the token.

[hbar1st]

the instructions are meant to be done in the order given.
For eg. The user token is meant to be pasted at the beginning. The Rebuild & Reopen step is done once at the beginning and never again.

Let us know if you need further clarification. I don’t know what you mean by “web_hook_token” so I’ll need more information to understand this.

[jorgesys]

I finally solved it the user token needs to be inside quotation marks otherwise it won’t work.

In the Dockerfile where the variable: ENV CODEROAD_WEBHOOK_TOKEN=

Thanks for your help.
