Possible Bug in "Build a Student Database: Part 1"

I was working on this…

Blockquote One more thing to add for this file. Below the insert into majors_courses courses comment, create a INSERT_MAJORS_COURSES_RESULT variable. Use it and the MAJOR_ID and COURSE_ID variables you created to insert a row into the majors_courses table. Make sure the query has the major_id column first. Also, you won’t need any quotes around the values for the ID’s.

…and could not get past it. I had it correct, but could not move forward in the lesson.
I was becoming very frustrated trying different things. I found the next step at this page on github and decided to just move forward via that page.

As soon as I put in that next query (viewable in the hints at 920.1 at that link), the lesson moved on to the next step, which as stated I had actually just completed. Now it seems I’m stuck there.

Will see if I put in the next step again whether it moves forward.

Anyhow, somebody might want to look into this before it causes somebody an aneurysm.

Oh my gosh. I’m stuck in the 2 questions after yours " Run the script. Your tables should get truncated and then it should go through the loop and add all the data from the courses_test.csv into the three tables of the database." Can’t figure out what’s going on.

I think it is a bug… I was struggling also, therefore I have added the variable into an if statement and it worked for me:

#insert into majors_courses
if
INSERT_MAJORS_COURSES_RESULT=
then
