Hello,
I am unable to start the program Learn SQL by Building a Student Database: Part 1. I have other issues as well. I will start with the first and attach screenshots.
Everything from my “Learn Bash Scripting by Building Five Programs” is wiped out it seems. I just see a message “The editor could not be opened because the file was not found.”
Also, at the end of that course, I cannot open a new workspace. I select the option and click through, but when I select Start New Tutorial, I receive a message saying “Oops! Select an Empty VSCode Workspace.”
I also cannot find the Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container course after installing the extension.
Thank you.
Your code so far

can you explain what you mean by wiped out please?
There’s been ongoing issues with people moving forward to new courses but this is something i haven’t heard before so please explain what you meant there.
In the first screenshot, at the top, you can see the tabs for the five programs. None of them show the content of those programs and they all say, “The editor could not be opened because the file was not found.”
I may have yeah. I am ultimately more concerned about being able to start a new course. I am unable to start any new ones. I may have reran the build while trying to start a new course.
if you’re on windows, you can try these steps which have worked for me multiple times
But please read through them first and let me know if you have any questions because if you do, better ask me before you try them (it will be hard to fix things, if you misunderstand something)
Thank you, I have not yet tried those steps, but I seemed to get to a point where I could start a new program. I am trying to do the “Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container” course. When selecting the course, I am prompted to select a container configuration template. Do you know which one I should select?
Thank you, I’ll post a new topic for that since it is different from this one and see if that works. I may need to come back to your resolution if this does not work.
how did you create your rdb-alpha directory when you started out?
The initial instructions were:
Open a terminal and clone the RDB Alpha repo if you don't already have it with git clone https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/rdb-alpha
Navigate to the rdb-alpha directory in the terminal with cd rdb-alpha, and open VS Code with code .
So hopefully you can open a terminal and just do an ls and see your rdb-alpha dir, in which case you are in the parent folder.
I created the instructions for people who are on windows but who are using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
If you’re not using WSL, you will need to find your rdb-alpha directory and make a copy of it in your file explorer if that makes thing easier for you. But you will need to open a terminal and navigate to the new copy in order to run the other commands.
