Stuck on “Build a Boilerplate” Course – Test Runner Failed

Backend Development
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I have been stuck for 3 days on the “Build a Boilerplate” course with Test Runner Failed at test 2/170.

The first test passed automatically.

I have tried everything:

Completely removed and reinstalled Docker, VS Code extensions, libraries, and project folders.

Tried both reset and soft reset of the tutorial.

Cannot start a new tutorial (even after uninstalling CodeRoad) or exit the current one.

I am unable to progress or do anything in the course. Please advise how to resolve this.

follow the steps here to restart the course on windows

Note, when you are rebuilding the container, make sure to click on the link to view the log. The last thing in the log should be a message about successfully installing coderoad. If that isn’t the case, you may need to manually install that as a vscode extension

Thanks hbar1st!

I had already checked other users’ questions and found your solution earlier, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.

Anyway, FreeCodeCamp updated the course this morning — the “Learn Bash by Building a Boilerplate” tutorial has been completely revamped. It no longer uses Docker and Dev Containers locally; everything now runs inside GitHub Codespaces. I’ll try starting it there and hopefully it’ll work without any issues :slight_smile:

note there are three possible setups, including a local one, the local setup has not been removed, just more possibilities added
