Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

Trying to figure out why I am getting this message when completing the code challenge, 'Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.' If I re-complete task 1 then move on, at some point I get this message, then have to start over.

Sometimes the error messages can be a bit confusing. Could you paste your code here so we can take a look at it?

Specifying the step which gives this error would also be helpful.

I got the error on step 3. Returned to beginning of code challenge. Then got same error at step 5. Then posted question here and skipped the challenge. Returned to the challenge to re-enter code so I could copy n paste code here when I got the error. Code challenge completed successfully with no error messages this time. ??.. So, none the wiser but there's no longer a problem to solve :) Thanks for getting back so quick.

If you pass Task 1 and Task 2, then get the 'Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing' error, it is almost always something you did wrong in Task 3. It is just the way the error validator works-- it starts at the beginning each time. When it finds an error, sometimes it attributes it to a previous task.

Next time, just correct your current task instead of restarting.

Glad you got through, but taking the time to post because it is bound to come up again.
