Gitpod has been completely horrendous to use to go through courses on here especially with Back end development and apis curriculum, i always have to restart the server like 10 times so that my solution (which is perfect ) can go through the tests

I have yet to have any issues with Gitpod, but it is not everyone’s cup of tea. So, I suggest trying a different method.

Hope this clarifies
