Due to recent problems with Glitch, we are recommending everyone to start using repl.it for the back-end Node challenges and certification projects. We have already merged this pull request to update all the existing Glitch demo projects and boilerplates used in the challenges to the corresponding repl.it equivalent.
If you have already started the challenges or projects in Glitch, you can continue to do so but be aware the tests may fail unexpectedly and/or you may not be able to access your project code. We highly suggest moving your existing code to the corresponding repl.it boilerplate to avoid further problems.
There are some differences between Glitch and repl.it that could cause some confusion:
- Repl.it does not appear to have something like
nodemon
implemented, so you must clickStop
and clickRun
each time to see your changes and before resubmitting the solution (“live”) url of the back-end challenges. - Discovering the solution url (that needs to be submitted) is less straightforward. To access it, you need to click the
Run
button the first time which will runnpm install
and thennpm start
. Next, you will finally see something like the following. You then click theOpen in new tab
button located near the upper right-hand corner, which will open the solution url in a new browser tab.
