print the url as your first step, so you can know for which test case it's failing

it means the answer that you will get should match to the desired output

Try to figure out what fails in your code for those cases, then :)

I am getting this timeout error when I try to test. If I remove some of the basic tests it works fine but when I attempt it times out again.

We should see your code to know, but I guess the element you're trying to turn into an int is a str or a special character. Check the index you have before the error jumps and its type.

@parceval I need a hint on how to address this error, I am really close but am unsure if my value has to be returned as a float. Please help

The error:

Traceback:
in
in increment_string
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '<6380345794529604500000000856314853'

I am recieveing a failed attempt when I submit. Not sure how to figure it out without the URL... Any tips would be appreciated.

error raised:

'' should equal 'xakep'

Were you able to figure this out? Stuck as well. There seems to be a large jump from 418 to 471 not sure why that is and if thats the culprit. Any hints?

I was getting this due to code running longer than the timeout

Timing-out is usual since a lot!

Try to change the "www" part in the url with "preview", as the beta site might use different servers; btw, today I submitted for another python kata and all worked for me.

Still getting the same issue?

Okay, I figured as much but was sure how to resolve the issue. I was coding in python.

I don't get it now, but in any case tell also which language and that message it is not a kata-specific issue :)

Everytime I try to test my code it gives me this error. Request Timeout: The server timed out running the request. This may be due to an issue with the backend server. Please try again.

Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried multiple times and on separate occasions.

I have a qestion about the line (raise NotImplementedError("TODO: calculate_years")). I am not sure what to do with this line of code. I have read the documentation on it and know that if something occurs it raises some exception but it still doesnt make sense. I am tempted to just # out that line of code. Any tips or hints on what to do, or what I am suppose to learn from that line would be helpful. Thanks
