3,049 PointsConsole.WriteLine not printing to console
I've been using the Treehouse Workspaces to code, and unfortunately for the past few hours it just has not been printing to Console, when i use Console.WriteLine. I get no errors but it will not print. I'm not sure what to do.

Take a look at this video about sharing a snapshot of your workspace.

231,269 PointsIt was all in the commands, but I didn't notice until I tried them in the snapshot: ā
mcs -out:TreehouseDefense *.cs
ā this creates an output file named "TreehouseDefense"
ā && mono TreehouseDefense.exe
ā but this runs a file named "TreehouseDefense.exe"
if you run mono TreehouseDefense
instead, you'll get the expected output.
There was no error because an old file (that did not output anything) named "TreehouseDefense.exe" was already present in the directory..
