Student Expert Issue: Failing Skill check code retrieving set var value from response property

Hi there,

I’m having trouble deciphering why this test from the Student Expert/ 3. Test collection is failing. Does anyone have some feedback for me? I’m passing everything so far.

Hi @nutzboltz I think you may have encountered a limitation in the test request because you’re using different syntax from what we cover in the earlier folder… :woman_facepalming:

I’m going to tweak the collection so that this doesn’t affect other people but in the meantime I’ll DM you a fix!

Your DM worked! Thanks for being so quick on that fix. Took me a couple hours staring at my screen today lol

Oh no! Sorry about that and thanks for reporting, it’s allowed us to improve the experience for future learners! :raised_hands:

Hi suesmith, I am also having the same situation:

Hi @suesmith
I’ve checked and saved everything but still facing this same issue
can you please help me resolve this issue

Hi @suesmith
I have saved everything but still i’m getting error.
can you please help me out here

I faced the same error. I put my testing code screenshot below,

You’re trying to set an environment variable in a script, without having an environment file selected.

I create an environment but the same issue occurs.


What’s the current contents of the environment file?

Ensure that the initial and current values are set, save and check again.

Current content.


But issue is not solved

OK, have you saved all the changes in the Collection?

Updated the collection link and tried the test Collection again?

I can see that you have unsaved changes in the skill check request

yeah, now it is work. Thank you very much for your guidence

Closing this topic to prevent follow up “I have the same issue” responses.

Create a new topic and attach all the information for your individual issue.

The main advice is to start from beginning again and walk through each individual request, ensuring that you read all of the instructions.

The course isn’t designed to be super difficult or trying to catch you out.
