freeCodeCamp: [beta] Basic JavaScript: Divide one Decimal by Another with JavaScript Test 3 Failing

This bug appears to come up when an incorrect answer is submitted first, then it won’t accept the correct answer afterwards. I ran into the same issue with another challenge Basic JavaScript: Escaping Literal Quotes in Strings. In both cases, I reloaded the page, which also reloaded the correct code that had failed the test. After reloading the page, I submitted the code again with no changes, and the test passed.

I encountered this bug as well, I was finally able to work around it by reloading the browser. Doing a reset on my code did not work. Very strange.

@systimotic here is the line of code for this trouble test. Probably has to do with the weird inclusion of the tail code we’ve kinda touched on here.

Ok, so I just tested this again, and I can confirm something very weird is going on.

@BerkeleyTrue mentioning you here, because I think this is an issue in the challenge framework stuff

Steps to reproduce in Firefox

The issue here seems different, but it may be related

1. Go to the previous challenge
2. Complete the challenge and move to the next challenge
3. Run the challenge

All tests fail, and the console output looks like this:

// running tests
"product is not defined"
"product is not defined"
"product is not defined"
// tests completed

Steps to reproduce in Chrome

Should probably be the same in Safari.

1. Go to the previous challenge
2. Complete the challenge and move to the next challenge
3. Run the challenge with failing code (the last test should be the only one that passes)
4. Run the challenge with correct code

Only the last test will fail.

Common

For both of these, it’s essential that you did the previous challenge before it. If you start on the dividing challenge, it works fine. This is what makes me suspect that something in our code is not cleared out properly.

#12762 may be related, but I’m not certain.

Same issue here on chrome 56.0.2924.87. Confirmed that refreshing the page and submitting the correct answer on the first try allows the test to be completed successfully.

If the correct answer is submitted after an incorrect answer, the test will fail on: The quotient variable should only be assigned once.

Hey,

I also got this error on chrome Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) just now,

After refreshing the page and submitting correct answer first time it worked
