Why isn't my code compiling even though it's working just fine in Xcode?

This exact code is working perfectly in Xcode and I don't see any compiler errors. Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps syntax that works but isn't good practice?

structs.swift 
struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post {

    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag

    init(title: String, author: String, tag: String) {
        self.title = title
        self.author = author
        self.tag = Tag(name: tag)
    }

    func description() -> String {

        return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag.name)"

    }


}

let firstPost = Post(title: "My First Post", author: "Nick", tag: "new")


let postDescription = firstPost.description()

What's the complier error you are getting?

There is no compiler error, that is why I'm confused.

It simply says "Bummer! Your code could not be compiled. Please click on "Preview" to view the compiler errors." Yet there is no compiler error

Some one else had the same issue. Check: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/bummer-on-code-challenge-2

Also are getting the issue in the challenge task complier on Teamtreehouse or have you ran the code in an Xcode playground. It works for me and I'm running Swift 2 so.
