Bracket notation task not submitting

I wonder why this code is not submitting

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        if (this['isTurn']) {
            return `${this['name']} is now playing!`;
        }
    }
}

console.log(player1['play']());

The instructions for task 1 say that the "statement that checks if it's the players turn" should "Use dot notation." That part of the code should remain as-is when you add the task 2 code that uses the brackets.

Also, the "console.log" is not part of the challenge, but will get by this time. But in general, for best results with the challenges, do only what the instructions ask for to avoid confusing the validator.
