Local Development Environments, prompt user for story error

Question

When I check my work, I get a prompt user for the story error in Treehouse. In IntelliJ I do prompt the user for a story and everything works out fine but when i go to check my editor in Treehouse to look into the details into the problem I get this

Enter the story

Word is a censored word, choose another.

Your TreeStory:

Testing PASS_1 and then PASS_2

which tells me that the tests passed? If they did pass then why is it still asking me to prompt the user for the story?

pseudo-tests.md

#  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

You need to prompt for the passed in phrase like "Enter a <phrase>:" before reading the input for the word.
