Generated file should have png at the end

Like the question states, i am getting error saying "Generated file should have png at the end", i tried my code in sassMeister and the output for my code is

div .toyo {
  border: 1px solid black;
  background-image: url(black.png?1488715276);
}```

Some key points here. Your color changing functionality needs to be outside of your mixin, since the challenge asks you to put it beneath all the other code. Also, you're attempting to define another mixin, which might be able to work if you do it appropriately, but it asks you to, instead, define a variable and set its value. If you need a little bit of help with that, I would reference this since that's what I used to help sort your issues (I haven't used Sass in a while, haha). The last pointer is that you should style your <a> elements the same way you would any other CSS. Using these tips and that reference I linked, you should be able to sort it out, since you were pretty close anyway. If you need more help, I'll lend a hand :) Edit Oh! I almost forgot..I'm not sure what that is at the top of your HTML, but I removed it before attempting to complete your challenge, so you should probably do the same. It didn't exist in the original challenge, so I felt it wasn't necessary at first.
