Flex-grow property shorthand question

I'm having trouble with this question. I used the shorthand method but im still getting an error. Im not sure what I'm doing wrong.

style.css 
/* nav-item transitions ---------- */

.nav-item {
 flex-grow: 1;
 transition:flex-grow .5s;
}

.nav-item:hover {
    flex-grow: 2;
}

/* nav icon transitions ---------- */

.icon {
  right: -25px;
}

.nav-item:hover .icon {
    right: 12%;
}

You missed the space: transition:flex-grow .5s;

Should be transition: flex-grow .5s;
