Test runner failed

Backend Development
1

I also met the same “Test Runner Failed” error when I started the “Learn Bash by Building a Boilerplate” lesson. I’m running locally on my windows 10 machine with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. I’ve tried rebuilding the container, restarting vscode but it still doesn’t work.

I tried to follow the instructions provided in this article Test Runner Failed - Learn Bash Scripting by Building Five Programs - Backend Development - The freeCodeCamp Forum, but I have no “.freeCodeCamp” folder in the current project, nor the “.mosharc.json” file. Here is the screenshot of my vscode interface.

Could you help me solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

You have said that you have tried rebuilding and that you tried reopening vsCode but did you try running Reset (click Reset) and then after it is done resetting the environment, opening a brand new bash terminal? The terminal you are running from is not the correct one ((the correct one doesn’t have a green prompt but rather a blue one)

If this doesn’t work, then please read this post Periodic Table Database - Build a Periodic Table Database - #5 by hbar1st

If that
