URGENT RESOLVE "Test Runner Failed" error when I try to run freeCodeCamp tutorial(working on gitpod) in my local VSCode #632
Description
Am new here and to programming and trying to work on this project locally/offline
I have failed to get Coderoad to read/work in my VS code on my laptop . when I press Run it simply says Test Runner Failed.
At least twice it has worked when I went to Ctrl + Shift + P then Developer: Window. then it would move onto the next instruction.
apart from those 2 times , any other time I try it simply refreshes everything except code road which I have then to relauch and of course nothing would have changed..
i have read the other articles from as early as last year but seems so far no success with anyone.. Somebody please help..

Am using VS Code and Coderoad on my laptop and not Gitpod

i have installed the actual CodeRoad extension inside VS Code. and done all the following
Install the CodeRoad VS Code Extension:
Open VS Code.
Go to the Extensions tab on the left (or press Ctrl+Shift+X).
Search for CodeRoad.
Click Install on the coderoad extension (publisher: coderoad).
Restart VS Code.
Open your project folder again (if not already):
You’ve already done this with code ., which is great.
You should be inside the learn-advanced-bash-by-building-a-kitty-ipsum-translator directory.
Run the Tutorial:
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette.
Type CodeRoad: Start Tutorial.
Select the tutorial.json you added (if it doesn’t auto-detect).
CodeRoad should now start and show a step-by-step tutorial pane inside VS Code.
since i actually dont need to install npm since it comes with code road and is already existent on my machine, i have run coderoad in my vs code, and uploaded file tutorial.json
