banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

I have had that problem a lot. I Doesn't like that there is a change of some of the code from task one. Press the restart button and that clears it up.

The "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing." message can be quite misleading. In order to ensure that people don't remove or modify code from previous tasks, the code checker for these challenges will run your code though all of the the task requirements to check that is still passes all of them whenever you try to pass a task.

The problem is that if your code has some error that results in the code checker crashing when it tries to verify that your code still passes the previous task requirements, then it will inform you that your code no longer passes task 1, even if the code that caused it to crash was added in a later task. This is a basically a bug in the current version of the code checker.

Anyway as for the actual issue with your code, you have a dot at the end of your last line that should not be there, if you remove it your code will work again.
