Java Local Development Environments Advanced Tooling Finishing TreeStory

Finishing TreeStory problems with tests!

Hello Craig. Your tests for "Finishing TreeStory" have some problems. When I prompt for template without printing template after prompting, tests not passed. But if I add printf with template, no problems :)

Here is an output: Did you prompt the user for the story (1)? I didn't see the first double underscored word prompted (2).

My code:

Main.java :

package com.teamtreehouse;

import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// write your code here
    Prompter promter = new Prompter();
    String story = promter.promptForTemplate();
    // Problem here:
    System.out.printf("Story is %s%n", story);
    Template template = new Template(story);
    promter.run(template);
}

}

public class Prompter { private BufferedReader mReader; private Set<String> mCensoredWords;

public Prompter() {
    mReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    loadCensoredWords();
}

private void loadCensoredWords() {
    mCensoredWords = new HashSet<String>();
    Path file = Paths.get("resources", "censored_words.txt");
    List<String> words = null;
    try {
        words = Files.readAllLines(file);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println("Couldn't load censored words");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    mCensoredWords.addAll(words);
}

        e.printStackTrace();
        System.exit(0);
    }
    String rendered = tmpl.render(results);
    System.out.printf("Your TreeStory:%n%n%s", rendered);
