Concern

Can we please remove all references to the learn IDE and update commands to open a .html file in WSL

Additional Context

No response

Suggested Changes

No response

no styling on kickstarter.html

Not sure if its supposed to have styling for the assignment but kickstarter.html has expired css styling links.

Unclear instructions

"and add binding.pry after the last line."
Super confused as to what the last line was. I placed my binding pry on the line after kickstarter = Nokogiri::HTML(html)

Example:

def create_project_hash
html = File.read('fixtures/kickstarter.html')
kickstarter = Nokogiri::HTML(html)
binding.pry
end

clean up readme

remove all content not directly related to completing the lab. All of that is covered in two previous readings and code alongs now.

New test issue referencing another issue

Here's our test issue and we want to reference issue #11

The instructions for opening the fixtures/kickstarter.html in a web browser don't appear to work.

Hello. I need to preface this by mentioning that I am using the Learn IDE in Google Chrome on a Windows OS. That having been said, the instructions for opening the fixtures/kickstarter.html file in my web browser don't work, for some reason. I am able to access the file in my web browser, but not with the instructions in the README.

Here are the instructions that don't work:

"If you are using the Learn IDE right click on the kickstarter.html file and select Show in Finder. Once Finder opens double click kickstarter.html to view the file inside your default web browser. If you are not using the Learn IDE, try open kickstarter.html inside your text editor and right-click anywhere on the page to select open in browser from the menu that appears."

The trouble is, no matter where I right-clicked (on the file name, inside of the file, etc.), I did not see "Show in Finder" or "Open in Browser" among my available menu options. I suspect that the "Show in Finder" option is only available for Apple computers.

Currently, the only way that I can open the fixtures/kickstarter.html file inside of my browser is by typing httpserver into the Learn IDE terminal, going to the link provided, and navigating to fixtures/kickstarter.html from there. However, the instructions in the README don't mention httpserver as an option.

Thanks for looking into this! Please let me know if you need any more information.

Regards,

Seems slow and buggy...

I tried resetting the browser multiple times and reloading IDE multiple times. The lab still behaves oddly. It crashes frequently and will raise errors such as "undefined variable kickstarter" even when the variable is clearly defined. Please check and debug.

Test issue

Here's our test issue

"Select "open in browser" from the menu that appears." Option not available in Learn IDE.

This option does not exist when right clicking in the .html file, or right clicking the file name itself in the tree view. Right clicking anything also seems to be freezing up Learn IDE.

No stylesheet applying to kickstarter.html

IDE crashes on kickstarter html

I'm running v2.5.2 of the Learn IDE. Every time I open the kickstarter.html file, the Editor freezes and then quits.

Add terminal key shortcuts for use in Pry

This is the first time a student runs pry not through rspec and invokes it on their own. It returns an entire HTML page and the lab doesn't explain how to navigate around the response.

It behaves like it "froze" and doesn't accept any input. Command + L seems to work, if you follow it with a Q.

IDE unresponsive

IDE is unresponsive and buggy. This has been an ongoing issue for 3 weeks now. This is negatively impacting my curriculum progress.

"Open in Browser" no longer a thing

This lesson says to choose "open in browser" from right-clicking on a file. It also says to run open fixtures/kickstarter.html which in IDE 2.4.2 gives an error.

Incorrect Variable Name In Examples

In the code snippets, change "project.css" to "kickstarter.css" so it matches with the variable defined earlier in the lesson.
