Tell us what’s happening:

Says my code does not pass and that I should use dot notation to access the innertext property of button1. code:
function goStore() {
const info = document.querySelector(“#button1”);
info.innerText = “Buy 10 health (10 gold)”;

Your code so far

You have a couple of issues.

Delete this line

You already created a button1 variable on line 9

Your answer should be one line of code

Focus on this line here because it is close to correct

except you shouldn’t be updating the info variable.
The directions say to update the button1 text

once you fix that, then the test will pass
