2,908 Pointshave to restart workspaces
Every time I fix a typo i made when typing up the code, when i try to recompile the code it still shows all the errors and the code as it was before i fixed it. I have saved the document before trying to compile it again.
If i close the workspace and re-open it, the change is shown. But I'm having to do this for every bug. I sent in an email to support and was told to put in a post to the community..

Treehouse TeacherWhat command are you running to compile and run? Can you provide a snapshot of the workspace please?
Christopher Borchardt
2,908 Pointsclear && javac Hangman.java && java Hangman. I'm not sure how to add a screenshot here, i sent a screenshot as a reply to the support email

Treehouse TeacherOn the top toolbar there is a camera and it lets you create a snapshot so you can share your code. It will produce a URL you can paste here
Christopher Borchardt
2,908 Pointsoh that, yeah i can do that. I was thinking you meant posting an actuall picture :)
if it helps here is a url for my workspace.

There are errors in the code, and I'm working through them one by one, mostly typos I made following the video, its just a pain to have to close my workspace and re-open it every time I correct one to see the changes

Treehouse TeacherI'm on a phone at the moment so I am having a hard time reproducing, but your promptForGuess method is missing a closing curly brace. See if that helps everything.
Haven't heard this specific problem reported yet...assuming your prompter class isn't compiling and it's confusing things.
Will be around a computer in a few hours and will check if you don't tell me it's fixed ;)

2,908 Pointsthat does help a ton, i knew i was missing a curly brace someplace and that was a big part of my code issues, The main reason i opened this one was just to see if anybody else had had a problem with having to close a workspace and restart it for the code to work.
The reason i noticed it at first is i was exhausted when i first wrote the code so instead of typing || i actually wrote 'or' in the code. and after i corrected the code, no matter how many times i ran the clear and recompile it still showed 'or' as part of the code in the console when displaying errors.
I closed and restarted it, and then it went away.
But the missing currly brace (that i spent WAY more time than I am comfortable admitting trying to find) did fix the rest of the errors on the code and the program works as it should at this state of the game. thank you SO much

Treehouse TeacherGlad your code is working! Is the problem resolved? Can you still recreate it? Things seem to be working as expected, and I don't need to restart the workspace to accept changes.
Christopher Borchardt
2,908 Pointsyeah i think it must have been on my PC, today I can't recreate the problem either. I even broke my code on purpose to see if I could make it do it, and it seems to be working as intended.
