I assume this is a bug with the spec files.

I have finished the lab and all tests are now passing. However when ever I try to push the file to github I keep on getting the following error:

ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I do not know how to fix this error and this is the first time to receive it. Please help.

Hi!

I'm in session "Default Arguments" right now and I'm trying to solve the lab task.
The code of my program I wrote in say_hello.rb is:

def say_hello(name = "Ruby programmer")
puts "Hello #{name}!"
end
say_hello

When I run it without any arguments, it tells me:

Hello Ruby programmer!

However, everytime I run `Learn´, I get this message:

Failed examples: rspec ./spec/say_hello_spec.rb:10 # say_hello defaults to Ruby Programmer when no name is passed in

I can't see any mistakes, do you noticed anything wrong in my code?
I definitely saved my changes.

I just finished the Default Arguments lesson and moved on to this one - Say Hello
When I try to open it in my IDE I receive this warning
WARNING: You are attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your current lesson.

All lessons are marked finished under my Curriculum tab up to this one .

  it 'defaults to your name Ruby Programmer when no name is passed in' do
    expect($stdout).to receive(:puts).with("Hello Ruby Programmer!")
    say_hello()
  end

The it could be interpreted as their name, the current Ruby Programmer's name, as opposed to the literal string. Just going to take out the your name part and leave Ruby Programmer

When forking this lesson to the Learn IDE I am alerted that it is beyond my current lesson and asked if I want to continue, but it is the lesson I am currently on (all previous lessons have been completed). I do not know if this is only happening in my case, or for all users.

WARNING: You are attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your current lesson.
Are you sure you want to continue? [Yn]:

FYI:
In both the local IDE and browser IDE, before forking the lesson, the IDE gave the warning that I was doing a lesson ahead of where I am in the curriculum. But that's incorrect. I had completed prior lessons.

Hello,

I skipped over some lessons on my Mac to see other topics to be covered and had this pop up message...

• (We strongly encourage you to complete lessons in sequence, but you can jump ahead if you're sure you want to proceed. You can always come back and finish this lesson later) -

I was working on the "Introductory Default Arguments 1" lesson, but Learn will not go back to that topic/lab I started. So, again I skipped ahead to the last topic, hoping it'll start from the beginning and reset Learn, still no changes, it's stuck on the last lesson. Please, how can I resolve.

Kind Regards,
Lucy

add previous short readme on default args or include a brief disc. of them here

should just mention learn submit

(though, I didn't do the intro track, so maybe github workflow was mentioned there?)

I found that the instructions for this lab were rather nebulous and/or inexplicit. Perhaps this is because more is expected of us students with more exposure to Ruby methods and arguments and hand-holding is occurring less.

I think that this lab should reference objective 2 of the previous Methods and Arguments exercise because that exercise helped me get through this lab.

Consider this code:

    def arguments_and_local_variables(name)
      person = name
      "Hello " + person
    end

    arguments_and_local_variables("George R.R. Martin")
      #=> "Hello George R.R. Martin"

I found the above very useful in understanding the instructions in Introductory Default Arguments I because using the plus sign is a big part of creating a method that satisfies the lab's requirements (Introductory Default Arguments I) especially when you need your code to look like this to pass the lab:

def say_hello(name = "Ruby Programmer")
  puts "Hello " + name + "!"
end

(note the "+") Take a look and tell me what you think I would love to answer any questions.

I have received an error pushing changes to git. I have been stuck on this for a while and would really appreciate some help. thank you!
