Hey everyone,

I’m currently developing the Pomodoro Clock using React and I keep getting three failed tests with the Test Suite.

> “Pomodoro has started but time displayed is not changing: expected ‘00’ to not equal ‘00’”

The error is the same for all three failed tests and I’ve been messing around with the code a bit and I cannot find a way to resolve this - it seems to work on my end.

Could anyone help me find my mistake?

The Codepen for it is [here.](https://codepen.io/lauraalpinto/pen/mvOjNe) Sorry in advance for the mess of a code I wrote.

One of the errors:

I guess it’s because your timer starts with a delay - you can see that after clicking play button pause button appears and timer starts only after one additional second. Check your `createInterval` function.
