Hi,

Use the Glitch link available in the Introduction page to work on the exercise.
https://learn.freecodecamp.org/apis-and-microservices/managing-packages-with-npm

Yeah, i tried that initially but, again it was giving the same “timeout occured” thing

#6

Could you share your solution code here which you wrote in Glitch?

#7

sure, here it is : https://enchanting-train.glitch.me

#8

Could you try again? I tried it just now and it is working for me.

Make sure your solution meets these two criteria -

  • All field-names must use double-quotes ("), e.g. “author”
  • All fields must be separated with a comma (,)

If you omit comma in the solution, it will throw timeout error

Thank you it works now. What do you think was the problem? (Several tabs were opened on my browser before, was that ?)

#10

It could be something to do with Glitch or your solution might had a missing comma or double quotes. I tried with missing comma in my solution and it gave me timeout error.

I don’t think it was because of several opened tabs.

you have to use the link that they give you on the introduction to the section and not make anew glitch project from scratch.
