Ok well if someone could pop back in here and provide an update when I should try again I’d appreciate it. Or you could just pass me on the lesson as I’m nearly done with the whole course 
then complete the rest, missing this is not going to stop your progress
I have now completed everything except the parts of this lesson that the bug will not allow me to finish.
you may have noticed that you can claim the certification, this is because you only need the 5 certification projects for that
Oh great I didn’t realize you only needed the projects. Thanks for your help!
