27,798 PointsProblem with "The Console" challenge
There's a problem with "The Console" challenge.
On Task 2 of 3 you are asked to: "Review the code in app.js. Use the appropriate console method to print out the details object."
Code to review: const name = "Andrew"; const details = { favouriteLanguage: "JavaScript", age: 33, children: 3 } const errorMessage = "Something bad has occurred";
The answer to this task is: console.dir(details);
Yet I keep getting this error:
"Bummer: You didn't write console
anywhere in your code."
Any help would be appreciated.

I think I have an idea of what's happening. Are you by chance removing the first console.log(name); and replacing it with console.dir(details);? I tried that and it gave me the same error message you described.
I believe what the challenge is looking for, is for you to add each console output to a new line. Like this:
console.log(name);
console.dir(details);
// Next line of code in challenge.
I was able to complete the challenge by doing this. Hope that helps!
Happy coding! -Brandon
