Freecodecamp: Sass - Apply a Style Until a Condition is Met with @while correct code can not pass!

[constantineMelios]

Describe your problem and - if possible - how to reproduce it

Despite having the correct code:

The tests do not pass! And I know is correct because I asked on fcc forum and people copy pasted my code to check and they passed the test. Then tried again and failed then reset and worked again. Neither of this solutions works for me.

@C0nst4nt1ne85 Thank you for reporting this issue.

Your code works for me in FireFox, but not in Chrome, which is weird. It is normally the other way around.

@Bouncey It worked for me to firefox also:

Firefox
Developer Edition
61.0b9 (64-bit)

the same issue occurred for me too.

I've noticed a lot of the SASS curriculum is bugged. The explanation code in many lessons has typos with the variable names where the $ is being interpreted for something font related, and many of the tests are not passing even when the code is correct, like this one.

I'm willing to try to take on fixing this, but I'm a new contributor and new to SASS. I've already tried looking online for other SASS tutorials for getting a handle on the syntax and haven't found much that's more than a brief few lines. I'm also going to be without my laptop for a few days because of a repair needed, but can dive into it when I get it back.

@Bouncey Tested it in Chrome(67.0.3396.87) and firefox(60.0.1) and it didn't work in both places. Both are 64-bit.

still having this issue:
checked latest versions of Chrome & Firefox as well as IE edge on windows 10 OS
tried clearing cache & cookies & verified that the Element inspector reported correct font-sizes for each element!

[dariatkachuk]

I have the same issue in Chrome and Opera.

Hello, I had the same problem today and ended up here. What worked for me is I tried submitting the code with a space between some of the variables with the "$" symbol like so:
$ x = $x + 1;
which of course didn't submit, then removed all spaces and success! Might have been an one-time event though. Before the success, I had the same issues as the previous people.
Thank you.

I had the same issue about a month ago, went back to the challenge today, and it passed without issue. Has someone fixed this? I also recently updated chrome to:

Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
EDIT: I'm on Mac OSX 10.13.6

[alexpedroza]

Thanks for the update, it looks like it might have been fixed, it passed for me!

[thecodingaviator]

@C0nst4nt1ne85 please check if its fixed for you too, if not try add ?run=disabled at the end of the link and then trying, if that works, please close this issue

[constantineMelios]

@thecodingaviator yes it is fixed.

Did not work on Win 10 Chrome Version 70.0.3538.67 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Worked on Firefox Quantum 62.0.3 (64-bit)

[HarplingeTom]

Not working on win 10, Chrome Version 70.0.3538.102 (Official Build) (64-bit)
The odd thing is that it passes all tests except the the one for .test-1
I inspected the element using Chrome dev tools and saw that it had the correct font-size being applied.

text-1 is properly sized:

@HarplingeTom, sorry that you're having trouble here. There are times when the tests are executed before SASS is finished compiling, so could you try clicking the Run the Tests button or pressing Ctrl + Enter a few times and reporting back? A little spamming can help pass these challenges.

[HarplingeTom]

Thanks for the prompt reply! Will do.

I tried it, [ctrl-enter] that is, fast, slow, random patterns; still no
dice.

This still hasn't been fixed. First I thought it was my browser since I was using brave, then changed to chrome and the same. Then came to this thread and read that it is working for some people on firefox, tried it and it literally broke the brower everytime I typed my code. Firefox keeps giving me an error message that "this page is slowing down your broswer" and it gives me the options of "wait or stop it". I have even copied and pasted the correct solution to the test page and nothing. I always get the same result in the screenshots of this post.

Edit: forgot to mention that the whole SASS course is very buggy.

[thecodingaviator]

The changes have not yet been pushed to production. They will soon be

[scissorsneedfoodtoo]

@HarplingeTom, sorry, I'm not sure why you're having problems. I tried using your code in Chrome on Windows and was able to pass the tests. I wonder if using the "Reset all Code" button would help?

[marcel0ll]

Just had this issue on Chrome.
