JavaTester.java:77: error: unreported exception IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown Main.main(null); ^ 1 error
The above error. But I have thrown IOException where ever I could, didn't I?
package com.teamtreehouse;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String story1;
Prompter prompter = new Prompter();
story1 = prompter.getStory();
Template tmpl = new Template(story1);
prompter.run(tmpl);
}

loadCensoredWords();

mCensoredWords = new HashSet<String>();

List<String> words = null;
try {
words = Files.readAllLines(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Couldn't load censored words");
e.printStackTrace();
}
mCensoredWords.addAll(words);

System.out.println("Enter Story Template: ");
String story = mReader.readLine();
return story;

try {
results = promptForWords(tmpl);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("There was a problem prompting for words");
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(0);

List<String> words;

List<String> words = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String phrase : tmpl.getPlaceHolders()) {
String word = promptForWord(phrase);
words.add(word);
}
return words;
}
String name = "";
public String promptForWord(String phrase) throws IOException {
System.out.println("Enter a name: ");
name = mReader.readLine();
while (mCensoredWords.contains(name)) {
System.out.println("Enter a name: ");
name = mReader.readLine();
}
return name;
}
}
# This is essentially what I am testing
1. The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).
a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.
2. The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.
a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word
3. The user is presented with the completed story

5,475 PointsIs there another class that you are coding? It looks like the error occurs at line 77 in a class called JavaTester. You've posted the code for your Main.java class and the Prompter.java class.
Check out the beginning of the error message "JavaTester.java:77: error: ". It tells you where exactly the error occurred during run time.

Treehouse TeacherHi Yong Li Soh !
The main method should not throw an IO exception:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
You broke my Tester, can you catch it and handle it in your getStory
method ;)
Hope that helps! You are super close!

Courses Plus Student 2,555 PointsHi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I don't see the JavaTester class in the exercise. I think it is on the server side and it is to test my program. That;'s the frustrating part.
