Tell us what’s happening:

I am receiving several errors when submitting and I am not sure what is incorrect with the code. I believe the code is correct and have reset the step, but I still receive the below errors.

Below are the errors

You should create an if statement that checks if the items array is empty, using the negation operator.
Your if statement should display an alert to the user with the text Your shopping cart is already empty.
Your if statement should return from the function.

Have you tried !this.items instead of !this.items.length?

codecampacct · June 21, 2025, 3:23pm

Hi yes, and I receive the same error.

ILM · June 21, 2025, 3:24pm

can you share all the code in the editor?

fcc4b6d10c4-b540-4e2 · June 21, 2025, 3:34pm

Looks like you are missing a closing curly brace to close out the function.

codecampacct · June 21, 2025, 4:35pm

Thank you, that was it.
