Code Challenge Stage 2 Sass mixins

Have been stuck on this one and everything looks ok but it keeps failing wit the following error. Bummer! The mixin needs to set the height attribute to half of the value in the $size parameter.

Code

@mixin button($color, $size) {
    background: $color;
  width: $size;
  height: $size * 0.5;
}

.menu_button {
    @include button(#ccc, 500);
}

Output

.menu_button {
  background: #cccccc;
  width: 500;
  height: 250; }

Your code would work in the wild, but the code engine here is picky, and only accepts it a certain way. Change your code to

height: $size / 2;

and it should pass you through.

That seems like an overly specific code correctness check to me. I'd say it could be reported as a bug.

They should give you the option to do it either way.

Thanks for doing so! It was indeed an overly-specific test. Should be fixed now. Sorry for the trouble!

Jay McGavren - That's a pretty quick turn around over the Holiday. Rock on!
