Unclear or ambiguous instructions and questions
Unclear or inconsistent submission/rubric requirements about required evidence and artifacts (specific screenshots, CLI output, merge conflict proof, branch base, and exactly what to submit)
Does it matter what the changes are? I hate the vagueness in this task, they don't even give us a general direction with it.
I just completed step C and I need a screenshot of committing my Working branch, then another screen shot of pushing it. I missed taking the first screenshot, but the code is clearly there in the second screenshot. I've read lots of posts here that say that every screenshot needs to be included, so I know just excluding it is not an option. Would I be able to take the screenshot I have and just crop off the bottom part with the push? Or could I just include the same screenshot twice?
The evaluation says "The modification of the working readme.md \"git add\" command is not seen. The execution of the \"git merge\" command that results in the proper merge conflict is not shown." I used VSCode ... I merged the branches, and I uploaded where it showed that there was a merge conflict as well as the repository graph showing that it was merged. ... I know I did it correctly but they're making me redo it because I didn't do it the way they wanted me to?
Platform, CI, or deployment failures
Repository access/authentication problems preventing students from cloning or accessing course GitLab repos (404 links, outdated saved credentials)
[...] I keep getting the "could not be found or you don't have permission to view it" error. [...] SOLVED: I have old credentials getting in the way of the student account. (On Windows) Look up Credential Manager, click Windows Credentials, delete gitlab credentials, and when you git clone again you'll get the pop up to authorize your computer with your WGU account
[Getting a 404 page not found error when clicking on my repository link.]
I've been stuck at step 9 of "Gitlab How To" wherein you have to run the pipeline and after I ran it I don't see any files on D197.
Insufficient or low-quality instructional materials
Outdated or missing instructional materials (removed PA videos, screenshots that no longer match current GitLab UI)
[I can't seem to find these videos anywhere... Or did WGU just outright remove the videos?]
[I think the instructions are a little outdated because the screenshots from the guide and what is actually on GitLab are not the same. Does anyone know how to turn on the project's repository graph? When I click on code, this is what pops up.]
Note: post_excerpts.json was not available at build time, so some Open post links may fall back to a generic Reddit URL.
