These tests were removed because there were issues with the head and tail being added to the code variable. Now that they've been removed, we can add the tests back in.
Challenges
The seed directory contains all the challenges that appear on the freeCodeCamp learning platform.
For each challenge section, there is a JSON file (fields documented below) containing its name, seed HTML, tests, and so on.
Usage
| command | description |
|---|---|
npm run test-challenges |
run all challenge tests (for each challenge JSON file, run all tests against all solutions) |
npm run test |
run all JS tests in the system, including client, server, lint and challenge tests |
node seed |
parses all the challenge JSON files and saves them into MongoDB (code is inside index.js) |
npm run commit |
interactive tool to help you build a good commit message |
