The first task says “Run your test and follow the error messages” however you have not provided the syntax to execute the test script. Please can you give some guidance on how to run the javascript in BASH?

I have completed the course ‘Learn the Command Line’ as the last few parts are around BASH scripting however if you use this syntax you get: ReferenceError: describe is not defined

This exercise does not allow me to pass the second checkpoint if I use spaces in my HTML tags as such:

<label for = 'message'>Message:</label>
<textarea id = 'message'></textarea>

This is a validation inconsistency error since the first checkpoint allows me to pass using that same syntax.

I also tried running the HTML in a browser and it renders just fine… so if Codecademy could fix this, it would allow us a bit more flexibility :wink:
