My code runs fine in the IDE but in the code challenge it says that I didn't present the TreeStory (3). any ideas?

Question

I ran the code and made sure to put in all the censored words to make sure none went through. I read through the pseudo-Tests many times and my results matched but something is wrong in the code challenge.

com/teamtreehouse/Main.java

package com.teamtreehouse;

        import java.util.Arrays;
        import java.util.List;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // write your code here
        Prompter prompter = new Prompter();
        String story = prompter.promptForStoryTemplate();
        Template tmpl = new Template(story);
        prompter.run(tmpl);
        List<String> ResultsFromPrompter = prompter.inputWords;
        String results = tmpl.render(ResultsFromPrompter);
        System.out.printf("Your TreeStory:%n%n%s", results);

    }
}

        loadCensoredWords();

    private void loadCensoredWords() {
        mCensoredWords = new HashSet<String>();
        Path file = Paths.get("resources", "censored_words.txt");
        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);
    }

        }
        inputWords = results;
    }

            System.out.printf("That word is not allowed. Please enter another %s: ", phrase);
            String newWord = mReader.readLine().toLowerCase();
            word = newWord;
        }
        return word;
    }

        System.out.printf("Enter the story:  ");
        String line = null;

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return line;
    }

}

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

Dalton,

Your issue is within the promptForWord method.

public String promptForWord(String phrase) throws IOException {
        System.out.printf("Enter a %s: ", phrase);
        String word = mReader.readLine().toLowerCase(); //take out .toLowerCase()
        while (mCensoredWords.contains(word)) {
            System.out.printf("That word is not allowed. Please enter another %s: ", phrase);
            String newWord = mReader.readLine().toLowerCase(); //take out .toLowerCase()
            word = newWord;
        }
        return word;
    }

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Chris
