13,915 PointsCode Challenge Issue: Trying to use unshift on an array and it doesn't like it.
I'm on the "Adding Items to an Array" of the "Tracking Multiple Items with Arrays" and I think there is a bug. Or I am missing something?
Instructions: Now, add 3 names to the beginning of the list using the other array method you learned in the last video
My code:
var guestList = ['Sandra', 'Omar', 'Magnus', 'Becky'];
guestList.push('Jacob', 'Lily');
guestList.unshift('Jake', 'Paula', 'Rick');
And the response from the program is this: Bummer! Looks like you're passing at least one empty string. Come on, give us 3 real names!

Treehouse TeacherYeah, I think it's a bug. Your code worked fine for me in the command line, but Treehouse gave me the same error.

Treehouse TeacherYes, this is a bug. I'm sorry for the frustration. I'ved fixed the problem and the code challenge should now work: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/javascript-loops-arrays-and-objects/tracking-multiple-items-with-arrays/adding-items-to-an-array
If you find another error like this in the course feel free to contact me directly via e-mail: dave@teamtreehouse.com.
