JavaScript Node.js Basics 2017 Introduction to Node.js The Console

I think this questions is bugged. Just try to complete it yourself and you will see.

error said I didn't include "console" but I clearly did. I think its criteria is bugged.

app.js
const name = "Andrew";
const details = { favouriteLanguage: "JavaScript", age: 33, children: 3 } 
const errorMessage = "Something bad has occurred";

console.dir(details);

Hi there, Evan Buschor! Nope, it's not bugged. Before you submit your answer, if you look carefully above the dark part where you enter your code, you should see this text:

Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.

You removed the console.log() from the previous step. These tasks are cumulative and you should not alter code from the previous step unless directed to do so. It's expecting one console.log() for the name and one console.dir() for the details.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Oh okay! That helps. I think the error message caused the confusion. If you don't see the notice prior to the error message covering it, it looks as though it doesn't see the "console".
