Morse Code gives Bummer

It gives me a bummer, I took it out of Tree house to the Terminal, And it works fine. I don't understand what is going on. Could I get some insight on what i'm doing wrong here? Thanks

morse.py 
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __str__(self):
        packet = "-"
        staging_packet = []
        for chunk in pattern:
            if chunk == '.':
                x = 'dot'
                staging_packet.append(x)
            elif chunk == '_':
                y = 'dash'
                staging_packet.append(y)
        packet = packet.join(staging_packet)
        return packet

class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
        pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
        super().__init__(pattern)

Perhaps this code is slightly different from what you tried externally? But the issue is on this line:

        for chunk in pattern:  # this should be: self.pattern

Thanks! Remembering to use self properly has been a pain in my arse lately.
