@Deo-Code-UG

Am new here and to programming and trying to work on this project locally/offline

Image

on my laptop https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/relational-database/learn-advanced-bash-by-building-a-kitty-ipsum-translator/build-a-kitty-ipsum-translator

I have failed to get Coderoad to read/work in my VS code on my laptop . when I press Run it simply says Test Runner Failed.

At least twice it has worked when I went to Ctrl + Shift + P then Developer: Window. then it would move onto the next instruction.

apart from those 2 times , any other time I try it simply refreshes everything except code road which I have then to relauch and of course nothing would have changed..

i have read the other articles from as early as last year but seems so far no success with anyone.. Somebody please help..

i have installed the actual CodeRoad extension inside VS Code. and done all the following
Install the CodeRoad VS Code Extension:

Open VS Code.

Go to the Extensions tab on the left (or press Ctrl+Shift+X).

Search for CodeRoad.

Click Install on the coderoad extension (publisher: coderoad).

Restart VS Code.

Open your project folder again (if not already):

You’ve already done this with code ., which is great.

You should be inside the learn-advanced-bash-by-building-a-kitty-ipsum-translator directory.

Run the Tutorial:

Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette.

Type CodeRoad: Start Tutorial.

Select the tutorial.json you added (if it doesn’t auto-detect).

CodeRoad should now start and show a step-by-step tutorial pane inside VS Code.

since i actually dont need to install npm since it comes with code road and is already existent on my machine, i have run coderoad in my vs code, and uploaded file tutorial.json
