My certificate's projects section just says "localhost"

I finished my back-end development and APIs certificate, but I noticed that if I try to go into the projects at the bottom, the ones that I used localhost:3000 for just say localhost:3000 and don’t include my source code links (even though I did include them when submitting my projects)…

I looked around the forum and saw a different post saying certification projects can’t be finished on localhost, but it let me do it? That makes me think this is a bug with the tests (allowing you to use localhost)…

What should I do?

I believe it was changed to allow locally completing them because they now require source links. But if you do not see the source link that sounds like a bug.

I haven’t tried resubmitting projects using the new system so I don’t know how it looks but I would expect maybe something like a dropdown menu with both links. At least that is how it works with the RWD projects.

I would need to test it.

Welcome there,

Thank you for pointing this out. It was a bug in the client preventing localhost links from using the correct solution display.

Should be fixed with: fix(client): show source code link when localhost exists by ShaunSHamilton · Pull Request #54087 · freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp · GitHub
