CSS Sass Basics (retired) Advanced Sass Concepts Advanced Mixin Arguments

Challenge 6 of 6 Sass finals

the question is "Use the mixin we just created to create a class for the colors red ,orange, yellow and green."

Here is what I have and I keep getting a "Oops! It looks like task 3 is no longer passing"

@mixin square ($size, $color: black) {
    height: $size;
  width: $size;
  border: 1px solid $color;
  }

  @mixin rainbow($colors...) {
    @each $color in $colors {
    .color.#{$colors}
  .#{$color} {
   background: $color; }
  }
 }
}

@include rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green);

  .box {
    @include square($color: red, $size: 10px);

}

thoughts?

Check for whitespace issues, this seems to be a recurring sort of bug or uber strict completion flag for all the courses, this is the correct sass, compiles to what you have up there.

@mixin rainbow ($colors...){
@each $color in $colors {
.#{$color}{
background: $color;}
}
}

@include rainbow(red,orange,yellow,green);

Ok new problem. I started playing around with it in Sublime. I got the correct output in sublime my css looks like this after being compiled.

.box {
  height: 10px;
  width: 10px;
  border: 1px solid red; }

.red {
  background: red; }

.orange {
  background: orange; }

.yellow {
  background: yellow; }

.green {
  background: green; }

But now in the code challenge I get the error "The <div> with the class .red should have a red background. Did you use red as a parameter when including the rainbow mixin?"
