Problem with printing budget object

Hello everyone, I’m doing the budget app project and I’m stuck with the printing of the budget object. It looks totally fine but in the unittest it shows an error:

MY CODE (str method):

 def __str__(self):
        li = ["", self.name.center(30, "*"), "\n"]

        for ele in self.ledger:
            if len(ele["description"]) > 23:
                char_li = list(ele["description"])
                del char_li[23:]
                ele["description"] = "".join(char_li)

            x = True
            just = 23
            while x:
                if len(ele["description"].ljust(just) + " " + f"{float(ele['amount']):> 0.2f}") > 30:
                    just -= 1
                else:
                    x = False

            li.append(ele["description"].ljust(just) + " " + f"{float(ele['amount']):> 0.2f}")
            li.append("\n")

        if type(self.fund) is float:
            li.append(f"Total: {self.fund}")
        else:
            li.append(f"Total: {self.fund}.00")
        final_str = ' '.join([str(elem) for elem in li])
        return final_str

It probably has to do with spacing but I can’t figure out how to fix it…

Thank you in advance!!!

It looks like you aren’t matching the expected indentation on each line? It seems like you have a extra space at the start of some lines.

I know but I cant find a way to fix it. Maybe you can help me?

This might be where the extra spaces come from.
