The test for step 25 of the above mentioned project seem to fail. I have placed the else {} block in the right place yet it fails

Hi @Chukason29

I gave it a try myself and it worked for me. Can you provide your code snippet so that we can debug what is going wrong for you ?

Hi @Chukason29

While you have added the else in the correct place, inside the else you also have to set the `currentTime` property of the `audio` object to the value stored in `userData.songCurrentTime` as mentioned in the instructions.

Once you have done that the test will surely pass.

Hi.

It seems like the test also checks for coding practices apart from the solution.

So if you give a space between else and {, then it will work.
