I am able to pass task 1 but it does not seem to like my 'customDirective' no matter how I add it.

Here is how I have done it:

angular.module('foobar', []) .directive('customDirective');

I cant seem to sort out where I am going wrong.

app.js 
angular.module('foobar', [])
.directive('customDirective');

Hello Joe,

When you make a directive in Angular you must provide two parameters: the name of the directive and the function callback that Angular will invoke when the directive is instantiated by Angular. Try modifying your code as follows.

angular.module('foobar', [])
.directive('customDirective', function() {});

I hope this helps.

Ok I see so even if the function is empty the simple requirement is 2 params regardless. Makes sense!
