JavaScript AngularJS Basics (1.x) Getting Started with Angular Review: Getting Started with Angular

Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong....

Anyone have any pointers. I'm stuck on this one.

app.js
angular.module ("foobar", []); 
angular.module ('foobar')
.directive ('customDirective', function() {
  return {
    template: "this is a custom directive"
  };
});

If it's the same file you don't have to declare angular.module two times. Use the first one. Apart from that issue (which I doubt causes the problem) to debug what might be wrong we need to take a look at your HTML as well.

Multiple things. First you're using too much code. The template part isn't needed because you're just asked to console.log the string out. Also you're missing a exclamation point.

angular.module ("foobar", [])
.directive ('customDirective', function() {
    console.log("this is a custom directive!");
});

I just did over the challenge. The code above passes.

Thank you for explaining this. I just about threw Angular out the window.

Every time I got to the third part to this challenge, it said, "Oops. Stage 1 is no longer working." ARGH.

So the console.log doesn't need to be in the return?
