I just played around with this for a bit and I believe it's two things in combination.

  1. It wasn't asking for the dunder main at the bottom so we'll need to remove that

  2. I followed the syntax from the video right before this challenge and it worked so I assume the backend of the challenge is looking for this specifically

import unittest 

class SimpleTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_subtraction(self):
        assert 10 - 10 == 0
