Error is:
AssertionError: Regex didn't match: 'cls\(.+\)' not found in "class DreamVacation:\n def init(self, location, activities):\n self.location = location\n self.activities = activities\n # insert your code here\n @classmethod\n def rome(cls):\n inst = cls()\n inst.location = 'Rome'\n inst.activities = ['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato']\n return inst" : Make sure to return a new instance using cls()
.
Code is below. Clearly cls()
is there. why isn't it "found"?
class DreamVacation:
def __init__(self, location, activities):
self.location = location
self.activities = activities
# insert your code here
@classmethod
def rome(cls):
self = cls(location='Rome',
activities=['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato']
)
return self
The issue is the checker expects all of the parameters on the same line. While the code above is correct, for Task 1, the checker rejects it.
Developers: please change the regex to include the re.DOTALL flag (re.S
) so that newlines can be "seen" between parens.
Marking as feedback.

Treehouse ModeratorHey Chris Freeman I am not seeing any issue with the code you have here, but it looks like the challenge is wanting you to pass in just the arguments.
return cls('Rome', ['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato'])

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsThis issue is the checker rejects my code above precisely because I split the arguments into multiple lines. I feel the regex is too restrictive and rejecting valid code.
