please run
cd ~/project
more .freecodecamp/.mocharc.json
and show us the result
please try this
cd ~/project/.freecodecamp
ls -la
I have also added your first comment’s code, idk if it helps
can you look at the instructions here https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/test-runner-fail/575106/8?u=hbar1st
and show us the output from following this?
can you show what is in the Output tab as per the link I sent you?
Also I continued to follow the link’s instructions and this is the result too, neither cat or more works with the .mosharc.json
can you do a soft reset from the green hamburger menu in the top left corner of the screen?
After that please check again
cd ~/project/.freeCodeCamp
more .mocharc.json
Edit:
if the result is still an empty file (no result from the more command) then one possible workaround is to run
nano .mocharc.json
and use copy and paste (with SHIFT-INSERT) to paste the following code in
{
"spec": ["./test/940.test.js"],
"reporter": "mocha-tap-reporter",
"fail-zero": false,
"timeout": "5000",
"exit": "true",
"grep": "/./"
}
Then once you have pasted the code in carefully you should enter
CTRL-X
Y
to save it
Then run more .mocharc again to confirm the contents are exactly as provided.
Then try the step again.
okay pls try the instructions in the previous post that I added.
please be careful when doing it.
A lot of things to do, but I did it in the order
did the nano + the code
Exited and Saved with ctrl x and y
And executed the more command
Even with all of that the result is the same
Can you try my instructions again and confirm that you updated the .mosharc.json file by running the more command?
Only after you have confirmed this, retry the step.
This shows that you have not modified the file.
In nano, you must press ctrl+x at the same time
Thenit will ask you if you want to save
Please respond with y
After this use the more command
Modify → Ctrl+x:
Press Y → Change to the terminal → Execute more command on .mocharc.json:
I did that multiple times
For some reason nothing is getting saved.
Run this more .mocharc.json.save.1
Run this next
mv .mocharc.json.save.1 .mocharc.json
Then retry the step.
