Hello all, I'm getting this error from line 107. I see someone else posted a similar problem but theirs was a typo. Not able to figure out what's wrong with my own code here... Thanks for taking a look!

The workspace snapshot seems to be empty (it exists, but has no files in it)! There was scheduled maintenance on workshops today, but the Status page says it has been completed.

In case the maintenance did something to the snapshot, try making a fresh one and posting the new link here.

Looks like your snapshot got fixed!

So the issue is that the button legends are being used as keys to access class methods, but the names don't match. The button legends have capital first letters (like "Edit"), but the method names are all lower case ("edit").

You can use either spelling as long as it's done consistently.

It's amazing how little mistakes like this can get you so caught up - I was so careful earlier in the process to make sure I was paying attention to my own case sensitivity. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it

Somehow all of my work has disappeared on this... I have no idea why. Maybe something to do with the maintenance? The Workspace has been reset to the original state from when you start the course. Ah well, thanks for looking Steven Parker

The status page now says they're working on it, maybe it will be restored shortly. Keep an eye on it.

Hello, two things I recommend.

  1. download the files, they have a start file and final products, that way you can start from where you left.
  2. download the file and use your own editor, the one are planning to use for work, that way you will get familiarized with the shortcut keys, extensions etc. and also use git and branching just for practice that way you can refer to your previous version if something when wrong.
