Hey,
Has anyone had any trouble submitting projects to FCC using CodeSandBox?
A live link from them will submit your project, but it won’t show up in your solutions in your profile. I found I have to manually copy and refactor my code from CodeSandBox to Codepen if I want my solution to be accessible from FCC.
Hello there,
I have not had any specific issues submitting Codesandbox links to fCC.
What do you mean by this? A link is saved as your solution once you click the Submit and continue… button that pops up in the modal. Are you definitely clicking this?
I did submit a live link from CodeSandBox.
When I click on ‘Show Solution’ in my profile for the project, it links to CodeSandBox, but I get a message that says: “Something went wrong, session doesn’t exist or is closed”.
My concern is that I won’t be able to get a certification once I complete all the projects because my solutions are missing. I’ve tried generating a share link from Codesandbox but FCC won’t accept it.
maybe the “session is closed” is the point, I don’t think codesandbox keep the project live for much time, you would need to restart it
if you are on front-end projects, are you submitting a link to the codesandbox editor? that should work and don’t expire
if you are doing back-end projects, other than live app link, always submit also a link to the code
I see what you are talking about with your project not opening from the link:
https://codesandbox.io/live/dp1l149
However, I do not expect the link to look like that. For example, one of mine looks like this:
https://h6o3w.csb.app/, and I do not get any issues with it not allowing me to view it, even when I am not working on it.
Do you have a CodeSandbox account?
Yes, I do have an account and googling other people’s projects has shown me a link like yours. I don’t know why mine don’t come out that way. I’ve even reformatted it my myself as https://codesandbox.io/s/“whatever the number is” and it works on my end, but FCC won’t accept it.
As you are supposed to submit a link to your app (not your app code), the submission box will not accept a submission to such a link.
Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your CodeSandbox environment? That is, where you are editing code and previewing your app.
I can see your app link is https://1g0vm.csb.app/
Hope this clarifies
Thank you very much!!!
I had no idea the preview window had a URL I was supposed to use. I thought that wouldn’t have worked.
Thanks a bunch!!!
