❌ The Step Failed. What do I do?

No worries, we all make mistakes - now is the time to fix it! The CounselorBot will provide feedback on what went wrong with your code.

Step by step instructions on how to view feedback ▶️

First, click on Actions at the top of your repository. image

Next, find the commit that failed. You can identify it by the name you called the commit. Click on it! Screen Shot 2021-06-06 at 12 51 31 PM

Now, go ahead and click on ":x: build" image

The step that failed should expand and you'll see feedback at the bottom. image

For this one, the feedback was:

Error: Got: "hello world", was expecting: "Hello World". 

In this case, the student should probably take another look at the capitalization in their code.

💡 Using this feedback, fix your code. Every time you commit, the action will run again to check your code!

❓ Do I have to push a commit to run a check?

Nope! Here's how to manually trigger a check for your code to move on:

Setting up

  1. Go to Actions
  2. Click on the specific workflow run that you want to run again.
  3. Click on build.

Refer to the previous section for screenshots

Re-running the check

Click on Re-run jobs. If your code is successful, the check will work and you will be able to move on. Screen Shot 2021-06-06 at 1 15 32 PM
