Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Iâm sorry youâre running into this issue. Iâll look into it!
@mirja_t I may reach out again via DM to get more details from you so the team can attempt to replicate the error on our end, so keep an eye on your notifications!
Hey @mirja_t, thanks for reporting this! Weâve been trying to track down the orgin of this after we saw some weird reports in our systems. Did this happen after clicking the button to head to the forums with regards answers, or did it happen as soon as you saw pressed submit / saw that âyou solved itâ page?
I was blocked for about an hour. Then a reload loaded the site normally again.
After the site showed up again I visited the code challenge again and clicked âsubmit codechallengeâ after the test passed. Thatâs when it happened the first time â and thatâs where it happened again now. Currently Iâm blocked again.
Here is the replication of the error
I clicked âsubmit codechallengeâ and this page was shown:
Then I clicked âcopy codeâ and the page froze (I donât know if it froze before or after the click on âcopy codeâ. The button showed no hover styles though, so I think it froze before that).
Super helpful thank you! The copy code button also likely being related was a clue we didnât have before. Weâll be trying to fix this next sprint (that is, over the next fortnight) and hopefully can get it back up before too long. I really appreciate your help and patience.
Itâs not the button âCopy codeâ. It happens after clicking âsubmit code challengeâ. This screen is already frozen without anything being clicked â this time I didnât click anything on this screen when the alert appeared:
I also got the âError 1015â message today after submitting the âPrime Number Finderâ JavaScript Challenge and was banned for about an hour. I am reluctant to revisit the post-submission screen again as I do not want a further ban (!), but here is proof that I completed the challenge and passed Codecademyâs tests successfully:
I like the Challenges but I feel that they could be improved by fixing this issue and also by offering more detailed feedback when the tests do not pass. I believe that I have also completed the âCalculate the Mean and Modeâ JavaScript challenge because when I log a series of my own tests the results are correct but I get the following unhelpful message:
I know that the code is being exported correctly (the module.exports = statsFinder line is present) and there are no syntax errors, otherwise it would not work correctly when I click âRunâ.
I also believe that I have completed the âMaximize Stock Trading Profitâ JavaScript as my own tests pass when I click âRunâ, but I am again faced with a message that the tests failed to run:
@codecademy Having inspected the Page Source for the âMaximize Stock Trading Profitâ page, I wonder if the error message is because the function being exported (module.exports = maxProfitDays) is named differently to the file required in the tests â the tests have a line as follows: maxProfitDays = require('../maxProfit');?
I hope this can get fixed during the next sprint as I enjoy the challenges
This happened to me as well and I am now using the hotspot from my phone in order to continue learning. This is extremely frustrating as a paying user of Codecademyâs services.
It happened after I submitted my solution to the âSum of Prime Factorsâ Javascript challange.
I found out that it only happens when submitting a code challenge from Resoures > Challenges page. So I avoid doing that until thatâs fixed. You can still do the challenges and run the test, just donât submit them.
Iâm using Chrome on a Mac. I tried the same thing in Safari as well â that also doesnât work, but using Safari I didnât get blocked. But the page froze as well.
