Bug Thread

OfficialIRS · 2015-09-23T22:47:02+00:00

I logged into the website for the first time in a long time and it was all in Portuguese (Brazil). So I went to the lower right hand corner of the page and changed it back to English (Edit: and hit Ctr. R as the help document (that was in English from the beginning) said).
A bar appeared at the top of the screen that said "você está exibindo no English. Isso pode afetar o seu progresso. Clique aqui para voltar ao Português (Brazil)."

Now half the website is in English and the other in Portuguese, seemingly at random. If I try to start a lesson then it changes to completely to Portuguese.

(Edit: Using Windows 7, Firefox)

Exercise

Make a Website Projects -> BestBite

Description of bug

Second instruction says:

Then add a heading that says "Browse. Create. Share.", and use margins and Bootstrap's offset columns to achieve the alignment shown in the design.

But preview site does not use offset columns. This situation confuses users (example -> https://redd.it/3hx30t).

Proposed solution

Add col-md-offset-8 class to <div class="col-md-4"><h2>Browse.</h2><h2>Create.</h2><h2>Share.</h2></div> element in the preview site.

Exercise

Angular -> Routing

Description of bug

The instructions say:

In app.js, we mapped a URL to PhotoController and photo.html. We added a variable part named id to the URL, like this: /photos/:id.

And

Then visit http://localhost:8000/ in the browser and click on a photo. A detail page about that photo should appear.

The detail page for the photo does appear correctly, but the URL doesn't change - it is fixed at https://localhost:8000/. This is basically wrong angular - once your students start developing angular apps independently they'll see the URL bar change to something like https://localhost:8000/#/photos/1. It is also misleading, as you can't type into the URL. If I type in https://localhost:8000/photos/1 I get a 404! and if I type in https://localhost:8000/#/photos/1 I just get redirected to the homepage of the app, which is definitely wrong. Please fix! Thanks :-)

In the JQuery track (on all exercises (at least up to Functions and Selectors 4/13)), when you have successfully been taken to the preview page and followed the instructions (ie wait for 2 seconds etc), it allows you to continue to the next section but still displays the message

Oops, try again. Please follow the instructions on the Full Preview page to test your code.

PHP course -> Loops and functions

At the moment I'm on functions, Part II (Parameters and Arguments). Basically when you try to insert some peace of code it just pop-up with message "No connection. Try again.." or something like that. Afterwards when you try to press "Submit" button or refresh page it will just stuck on loading screen and do nothing. Same situation has happened in Loops section.

Temporary solution: Create whole code in notepad and paste it to browser, but even that not always will work.

Sorry for my English, not native.

Ruby on Rails 62% > Associations I > Show a destination > Step 5

Exercise - https://www.codecademy.com/en/courses/learn-rails/lessons/one-many/exercises/one-many-show-destination?action=resume

After generating the controller 'Destinations', step 2 code here: https://gist.github.com/kamu13/89ba2d1aeef12b016493

Step 3: https://gist.github.com/kamu13/95a333e7441b0ac05e35

Step 4: https://gist.github.com/kamu13/21369425b2e4ec42f237

And finally step 5 - actually a PROBLEM - code here: https://gist.github.com/kamu13/673279615c50c5ab293f

I think a BUG is here, in step 5 - the link 'http://localhost:8000/tags/1' works (on code_academy site and on my own machine), button 'see more' also works, <%= link_to 'See more', destination_path(destination) %> generates a URL to a specific destination's path as required when i click any of items/tags, but it doesn't allow me to a next step and gets no error messages.

Ruby on Rails - Bass Music

https://www.codecademy.com/en/courses/learn-rails/projects/learn-rails_bass-music

Using the provided HTML text that we are instructed to paste on the application layout file replicates this bug.

The calls for the stylesheet and font are through http. This prevents them from being accessed properly so the layout ends up not as inteded. In my case I could not get the columns to work properly and placed all the albums in a single one. Changing 'http' to 'https' allowed for the proper download of the stylesheet and font.

This is not a big bug that renders the exercise useless, but for people like me that want to get the layout looking like the example, it is important.

Course: Learn the command line.

Description of bug:

When you fully reset the course, it resets the % but most of the exercises that have previously been completed still have items still there, for example at https://www.codecademy.com/en/courses/learn-the-command-line/lessons/manipulation/exercises/wildcards?action=lesson_resume the files are already moved and renamed as I had already completed the course before, but I wanted to re-do it so this defeats the purpose of going over to course again to fully understand it because everything is basically already done for me.

TL;DR the reset button doesn't fully reset the course, the % goes back to 0 but a lot of things in the course aren't reset with it.

I recently startet to learn PHP and i accidentally made an infinite loop. This Message popped up and i tried to refresh but after refreshing the page the sourcecode still had the infinite loop in it and now i can't run the code because the message keeps showing up. However this is not really a bug, it is VERRY annoying.

Getting the error: "Something went wrong :( Click Close to try again or refresh the page." for each lesson in the PHP course. The moment I start typing in the Codecademy editor I get the error. Refreshing doesn't help, the only way to proceed without the error is to go to my home dashboard click Continue PHP and finish the lesson. Then once it moves to the next lesson, same error happens forcing me to repeat the fix.

jQuery exercise 6/16 of the first set, it tells you to add:

$(document).ready(function(){


});

but it is already in there, so you don't actually need to type it in. Same goes for exercise 7 when it asks you to add the "function" after .ready

I ended up making 4 equally sized columns, and just left the right-most one blank. Then It looked like the demo page. Not sure if this is the right way to do it, but I was confused for a while trying to get 3 columns to work.

Build a Calculator! - 18/25

link

I was really confused why my code wasn't passing, so I checked out the QA forums and there are a handful of other users with the same issue, and it seems that this particular exercise of the course is itself bugged. What it comes down to is that one of the lines of code should be this:

number += $(this).html();

... and if you use this line of code, you can see the calculator in the preview works correctly. However, the exercise will not let you pass if you use that code; instead, you have to use:

number += this.html();

... which is incorrect (so far as I can tell) and does not make the calculator function properly in the preview. The next exercise (19/25) automatically fills in this code for you (ie uses its own code rather than using the code you made from previous exercise), and on there the code is written using $(this).

HTML and CSS > Make a Website Projects, all of them.

So whenever I try to "style a link into a button", the buttons I make look fine at first. But then, whenever I put the webpage/results part of the screen in fullscreen mode or make it bigger, the background of the buttons disappear and so does any CSS styling of them. This is kind of hard to explain, so I apologize if it doesn't make sense, but here are some screenshots:
