when running code in python labs no process is returned only a message for “running tests” when inspection mode is run error messages follow as:
tried running on Chrome, edge we aren’t allowed to use firefox, make sure no extensions are blocking process.
any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
show the error, it’s unreadable. Also what’s your code?
What kind of environment are you in? Is it a school or work with a managed network? VPN?
The error is too small to read here (403 forbidden?), maybe you can copy/paste the text. Something could be blocked at the network level but again it’s a guess, can’t read this.
And what code are you trying to run there? Please share a link to the specific step you are working on as well as the code you have entered.
Does this happen on any random step? For example if you click this link and click the “Check your code” button, what feedback do you get?

You may need to check with your network admin to see if the network, workstation or browser is locked down in some way that might be preventing this.
in regards to the link and script you sent all it returns is “running code”, it never shows the result but to some of my other colleagues it works but strangely for a few of use we all have the same results, weve checked and our specs and permissions are all the same.
when inspecting the page theres were the errors.
the course i was using was
Learn String Manipulation by Building a Cipher: Step 2 | freeCodeCamp.org
Print (“hello world”)
The link I sent should generate some errors like this
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 17, in <module>
TypeError: caesar() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'message' and 'offset'
If it works for some people but not others, then it sound like a workstation-level issue, would need to troubleshoot more there.
The fact that it works on some machines and you are trying to get this to work on all of the computers for a group of people, there’s not much we can do on our end. You should involve whatever admin or technicians you have there.
There’s something different about the workstations that it works and the ones where it doesn’t. Kind of ruled out the network at this point but you never know.
