The test show me that no validate the censured words but in my IDE I test all the words into censored_words.txt

I put a code validator in the method promptForWord in the class Prompter and try in the IDE to input all the words that contains in the censored_words.txt file and validate correctly.

There is a way to show the tests cases?

        Template tmpl = new Template(story);
        prompter.run(tmpl);
    }

#  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

Hi, Diego Camacho

You wrote awesome code, and your code works perfectly fine.

The problem that you see here is the problem with testing that your challenge is correct.

You see, roughly saying Craig wrote tests in a way that they check all System.out, and when they find censored word, they give error.

In Prompter.promptForWord you write censored word as a hint to user, but tester thinks that you screwed up.

So in order to finish the challenge please change the line

// wrong for testing, not logically, because it actually prints censored word
System.out.printf(response + " is a Censored Word, please enter another. %n");

To

// does not print censored word, you are good to go :)
System.out.printf("Censored Word, please enter another. %n");

Here is another post with the same problem:

It works!!!

Only remove the censored word entered by the user from the warning message.

Thanks a lot for the help.
