The second part of the challenge asks us to handle the CommunicationError by printing a message. I keep seeing a false is not true error message. Could you help me see where I am going wrong?
"""
This is importing a function named `tweet` from a file
that we unfortunately don't have access to change.
You use it like so:
>>> tweet("Hello this is my tweet")
If the function cannot connect to Twitter,
the function will raise a `CommunicationError`
If the message is too long,
the function will raise a `MessageTooLongError`
"""
from twitter import (
tweet,
MessageTooLongError,
CommunicationError,
)
message = input("What would you like to tweet? ")
# Your code here
tweet(message)
try:
tweet(message)
except CommunicationError:
print("An error occurred attempting to connect to Twitter. Please try again!")

# Your code here
# You have to erase this tweet(message) because you already have it in try except block
# The reason why it is failing is because when you run your program this tweet(message)
# is ran first and it does not handle the CommunicationError
tweet(message) #<----- erase this
try:
tweet(message)
except CommunicationError:
print("An error occurred attempting to connect to Twitter. Please try again!")
