Freecodecamp: Bug in Responsive Web Design Projects - Build a Survey Form

[llamafluida]

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

First, I love the new page. Second, I think is more a typo more than a bug, but could cause confusion.

The problem is in the Responsive Web Design Projects - Build a Survey Form (link below), in the user story 13, that says:

Inside the form element, I can select a field from one or more groups of radio buttons. Each group should be grouped using the name attribute.

In this, just mention that require a name attribute, and if one doesn't use a name attribute in the input with type radio, doesn't approve it. With this all good.

The problem is that, if one doensn't use a value attribute in these inputs, it doesn't pass the test. One can see that the value attribute in needed where the test display the present error like it shows in the screenshot, but this doesn't shows in the user story that is required too.

This without a name attribute

This without a value attribute

Hi!
You should add value attribute where id="totally"

That was me recreating the present problem, the thing here is that isn't stated that one must use value in the group or radios, just name, but it requires value. One can pass the test using value and name, the thing is, isn't stated in the point.

What I wanted with this request was to show that thats happens, and if is intended that it doesn't show that one must use value too in point 13, or was a Typo and the point 13 must be rewrited to include explicitly value and name, or is a thing that value isn't required, that is why point 13 doens't state that is required explicitly, and must be changed to not require the use of value to pass the test.

I know one reading the AssertionError can pass easily the test, but at the same time I see it anyway like a little bug (if it is) to be aware that exist (but that doens't generate much problems anyway).

I think that user story #13 should be changed to:
"User Story #13: Inside the form element, I can select a field from one or more groups of radio buttons. Each group should be grouped using the name attribute and each radio button should must have a value attribute."

The reason I think this is because my attempt at the project passed test #13 when I included a value for each of the radio buttons (but it failed when I didn't include a value for each of the radio buttons).

Had the same problem (for days ). Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong and then I adedd "value" for each radio button and finally passed user story 13.
So I agree with all of you that this user story should be changed in a way to require a "value attribute".

@tchaffee @tbushman This seems to be related to the testable projects. Rather than try to move this issue over there, I figured I'd just mention you both here to see whether any of you know what could be causing this.

@QuincyLarson Thanks for informing us. We will need to update the radio button user story to clarify that the value attribute is required in addition to name.
