Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Unclear instructions with the use of Glitch to submit challenges.

See original GitHub issue

I was recently attempting to submit my code changes of the APIs and Mcroservices certification through the URL of glitch as instructed in the introduction but I was finding trouble with passing the tests because I was submitting a wrong URL. Instead of something like https://blush-tundra-dodo.glitch.me/ I was submitting https://glitch.com/edit/#!/blush-tundra-dodo?path=package.json:7:21 until I was guided on the help forum before I got demotivated.

Don’t you think we should revise the introduction and include steps on how to submit in the URLs from glitch to save future cases like mine? How do you see?

Some people also try to submit files from their GitHub repo (e.g. the package.json) because of the “clone this repository on GitHub” line. I do like that we have a link to the starter code on GitHub but it’s a bit unclear from the challenge text how it should be used.

It doesn’t happen as often as submitting the incorrect Glitch link does, but it does happen every now and then.

I have seen this come up a number of times. Should we put a note in each challenge or just one in the introduction or maybe just one in the first challenge? I would word it something like…

Be sure to submit a URL to a live demo of your project
