Not sure this code challenge is working correctly.

Get the error, 'Both the 'reduce' and 'filter' methods have not been called yet' despite running what should be a working solution.

I have copied and pasted my code into a text editor and run it. I get no errors and the correct solution, 9.47.

I have included my code snippet below:

groceryTotal = purchaseItems.filter(item => item.dept === 'groceries') .reduce((total, item) => total += item.price, 0).toFixed(2);

app.js 
const purchaseItems = [
    {
        name: 'apples',
        dept: 'groceries',
        price: 2.49
    },
    {
        name: 'bread',
        dept: 'groceries',
        price: 2.99
    },
    {
        name: 'batteries',
        dept: 'electronics',
        price: 5.80
    },
    {
        name: 'eggs',
        dept: 'groceries',
        price: 3.99
    },
    {
        name: 't-shirts',
        dept: 'apparel',
        price: 9.99
    }
];
let groceryTotal;

// groceryTotal should be: 9.47
// Write your code below
groceryTotal = purchaseItems.filter(item => item.dept === 'groceries')
                            .reduce((total, item) => total += item.price, 0).toFixed(2);
