Code Challenge engine can't find TAG!

The code challenge engine throws a bummer, saying that it cannot find the TAG "CodeChallenge" in the Log.i() statement, which is said to be used in the requirement. The code seems okay, so where is the problem, folks?

CodeChallenge.java 
// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json

JSONArray jsonShows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");

for (int x = 0 ; x < jsonShows.length() ; x++){
    JSONObject data = jsonShows.getJSONObject(x);
    Log.i( CodeChallenge , data.getString("title"));
}
data.json 
{
    "name":"Netflix Playlist",
    "shows":[
        {
            "title":"Doctor Who",
            "season":8,
            "episode":3
        },
        {
            "title":"Arrow",
            "season":1,
            "episode":10
        },
        {
            "title":"Portlandia",
            "season":4,
            "episode":5
        }
    ]
}

The tag is of type String. What you've written is a name of a variable. Surround "CodeChallenge" with quotes in order to make it string, and it will all work just fine :)
