5,708 PointsWork fine in the IDE but I keep getting error message
I've been banging my head against this all morning.
The code works fine in the IDE (Intellij) but when I press "check work" I keep getting that I don't present the story to the user. As I understood the instructions this was to be done in the "run" method of the prompter, which is what I've done.
I'm now out of ideas as to how I should solve this...

String story = prompter.promptForStoryTemplate();
Template tmpl = new Template(story);
prompter.run(tmpl);
}

# 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
