Your solution does not fail for 1 and 5, it fails for 0 and 0.
For side=0 and volume=0 expected answer is false, but your solution returns true.

I will later change error messages so they point out your mistake in a clearer way.

About the other bad kata, did you raise related issues in their discourse and described encountered problems, so we could check them for errors?

Test seems to be broken, returning true for cubeChecker(1,5), but have tested in jsfiddle and my own console...

this is the third kata that seems to be buggy in a row. Might check out different platforms if it continues..

is this thing broken?

I passed the tests. which are all words. but it fails on the random test...

I used a regular expressions to filter the array into blocks if consecutive and single characters if not. so I switched from (/w) to (.) but that doesn't seem to work..

This is diificult. perhaps I am still green idk
