I am trying to pass this challenge but I always get this error: Unexpected AST node type passed to processExpressionStat

I also tried using the .text() method, but I can't figure out what's the problem

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
const content = "I am a web developer";

$('.profile-text').html(content);

Your code would work in a real-life situation just fine, but the Treehouse challenge unit tester wants you to do exactly and only what it specified. What I mean by that is do not use variable, pass the string directly, and do as much as the description says in the 3 steps.
