It might help if you make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here. Also please describe exactly what steps to take to see this error.

I relaunched workspace as requested for this particular video. To do this I closed all workspaces and relaunched workspaces from the button in the bottom right corner of the screen.

I added the following code:

var passphrase = 'Open Sesame'; console.log(passphrase.length);

I pressed save in the file menu I clicked on the preview Icon

It gives me text saying "Can you fix the Java code.

It actually says "Can you get the JavaScript to work?", and that's because it is coded into index.html on line 10:

index.html
  <h1>Can you get the JavaScript to work?</h1>

But it is also running the script and logging the string length (11) to the console. So everything seems to be working as it should!

Do you have the console open? This wouldn't print to the HTML--for that, you'd need to use document.write. Console.log prints to the developer console.

Thank you to everyone for their feedback!

Solved!
