Problem with Pokemon app tests

Hello,

the last two tests in the Pokemon Search App don’t work, because elements I am adding to my “types” div, do not appear.

Test 1:
When the #search-input element contains the value 94 and the #search-button element is clicked, the #types element should contain two inner elements with the text values GHOST and POISON, respectively. Make sure the #type element content is cleared between searches

Test 2:
When the #search-input element contains the value Pikachu and the #search-button element is clicked, the #types element should contain a single inner element with the value ELECTRIC. Make sure the #type element content is cleared between searches.

When I test it in the browser from my script.js and index.html it works fine.
When I input 94 in the search field I get this in the DOM:

<div id="types"><span>GHOST</span><span>POISON</span></div>

When I am running the tests from the internal editor the ones that check the elements like “GHOST” in types, naturally fail.

Why is this code working in my browser when I have my local index.html in the URL and why are these two tests failing when I do the tests in the online editor? Please help me, this is quite frustrating.

There’s i not declared here. Editor on page runs in a strict mode, which means all variables have to be declared with let or const (using var also would fulfill this requirement, but let’s pretend it doesn’t exist :stuck_out_tongue: ).

Oh my favourite oversight in loop :grinning:
Thank you so much for the quick answer!

Unfortunately, the editor console doesn’t show that error, but the browser console does.

It is always worth taking a look in the browser console, even if the editor console is more convenient.
