Answers Advanced - Module 5: Sorting

Challenge Troubleshooting & Discussion
1

Hi there,

I am trying to wrap up my Module 5 Assessment for Answers Advanced and I can’t seem to pinpoint where I have gone wrong for the 2nd and 3rd verification.

From what I can tell everything is spelled correctly! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Eleanora,

I would try changing ’ “Sort Options,” ’ → ’ “Sort Options”, ’ with the comma on the outside. It could be something else, but that should hopefully get rid of the red underline squiggly.

Hi Eleanora,

Ivan is exactly right - thanks for contributing to the Community, Ivan! You’ll need to move the comma on line 17 out of the quotes so that it looks like:

"label": "Sort Options",

The reason for this is that the comma indicates the end of the object you’re notating. Since the comma is missing here, the code doesn’t recognize any code after that since it’s looking for a comma. In other words, the two rules failed because the search config doesn’t recognize defaultSortLabel or the sorting options. Once you move that comma, you should pass those rules!

Hi Ivan and Kristy,

Thanks for the help! I made that correction but now 2 errors have popped up on my module assessment so there must be something else at play.

Are there any screenshots I can provide that might help us troubleshoot this further?

Hi Eleanora,

You’ll also need to put a comma after the } on line 33 since SortOptions is just one object under componentSettings and the comma separates the components. You’ll notice there’s a red squiggly line under AppliedFilters, the next object you have under componentSettings. Let me know if that fixes it!

Another comma strikes again!! Thank you so much for your help!

Hey,

I’m getting the same errors on my report card as Eleanora:

Here is my events.json code:

  }
}

I’m getting an add odd error here too:

Isn’t that standard?

Thank you,
