Java Local Development Environments Advanced Tooling Finishing TreeStory

Not Passing Test 3, but code meets requirements when run locally.

Hi,

My code is passing the requirements specified in pseudo-tests.md, but it appears I am not passing test #3 which is that the story is printed out to the user at the end.

My code does print out the story.

Can someone please look at the test and let me know what I'm doing wrong?

#  This is essentially what I am testing 
1.  The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).

  a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.

2.  The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.

   a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
      User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word

3.  The user is presented with the completed story

I too am getting this issue, interestingly I created a method for generating the user template. So the one thing that I thought could be generating the issue is not working regardless of how it is achieved.

I've posted a Question on this exact error so if I get a response I'll paste it here.
