I am experiencing the same issue described above by other codecademy users. Hitting on Run (not save) brings an error - see the step before the error. After hitting on run button the page becomes blank. I am using Mozilla Firefox
Instruction number 1 asks to enter in the directory my-quizzes, therefore, the file biology.txt to be used, is the one from this folder, instead of the the one in the science-quizzes folder.
There is no biology.txt file in my-quizzes folder, unless you run ‘git pull’ or ‘git fetch’ && ‘git merge origin/master’ on ‘master’ to retrieve the latest updates from the remote. However the tutorial does not include that instruction.
Okay… So the ‘Save’ button is labelled ‘Run’ and that seems to be the only issue I can find with this lesson.
For step 4: Add your question to biology.txt in the ‘my-quizzes’ directory (branch). Then click ‘Run’. This will save your work to the file. (An indicator that this satisfied the requirements of step 4 is that the tick turns to green)
For step 5: Do as the task requests and add the ‘biology.txt’ file to the staging area (git add biology.txt). This will result in step 5 being completed.
For step 6: Commit this file to the repository (git commit -m “Added biology question”). This commits it to the ‘my-quizzes’ branch and satisfies the requirement for step 6.
If the team at Codeacademy could update the ‘Run’ button to be ‘Save’ it would prevent a lot of confusion in this lesson.
