Im receiving the following failure:
Bummer! I expected to see the names I passed in through the args, but I do not. Hmm.
But...judging from the output, it looks like my code is correct:
Starting forum example...
New post from Tim Boland about Teamtreehouse Java Course.
Here is my code below:
ForumPost.java
public class ForumPost {
private User mAuthor;
private String mTitle;
private String mDescription;
public ForumPost(User author, String title, String description) {
this.mAuthor = author;
this.mTitle = title;
this.mDescription = description;
}
public User getAuthor() {
return mAuthor;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public String getDescription() {
return mDescription;
}
}
User.java
public class User {
private String mFirstName;
private String mLastName;
public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
// TODO: Set the private fields here
this.mFirstName = firstName;
this.mLastName = lastName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return mFirstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return mLastName;
}
}
Forum.java
public class Forum {
private String mTopic;
public Forum(String topic) {
this.mTopic = topic;
}
public String getTopic() {
return mTopic;
}
public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
// When all is ready uncomment this...
System.out.printf("New post from %s %s about %s.\n",
post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
post.getTitle(),
post.getDescription());
}
}
Example.java
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Starting forum example...");
if (args.length < 2) {
System.out.println("first and last name are required. eg: java Example Craig Dennis");
}
Forum forum = new Forum("Java");
// Take the first two elements passed args
User author = new User("Tim", "Boland");
// Add the author, title and description
ForumPost post = new ForumPost(author, "Teamtreehouse Java Course", "This is my favorite course");
forum.addPost(post);
}
}

15,193 PointsJust solved it. Great explanation at https://teamtreehouse.com/community/output-is-appropriate-in-editor-but-still-fails-challenge
I had to rewatch the array video and then reread the error code. I then realized he had already put in a name in args[0] and args[1] and simply wanted us to output the name that HE had entered into args.
The only change you need is
User author = new User(args[0], args[1]);

13,168 PointsHi Timothy,
Could you share your code? The challenge asks to pass the first name and last name from arguments.
Thanks,
