I’m stuck on Stage #ND2. My sole problem is that when I try to test my code it always exceeds the time. because all the time taken by building step, which weirdly is included in the test time Here are my logs: ```auto [compile] Compilation successful. [tester::#ND2] Running tests for Stage #ND2 (Download a piece) [tester::#ND2] Running ./your_bittorrent.sh download_piece -o /tmp/torrents3170529684/piece-9 /tmp/torrents3170529684/itsworking.gif.torrent 9 [your_program] -- Running vcpkg install [your_program] All requested packages are currently installed.

Hey @ycsvenom, I’ve pushed a fix to your repo. You can run `git pull` to sync the changes. Let me know if you’re still running into issues! ---

Okay, thanks for updating the template, but there is still a problem It would fail with this error when the test is being executed ```auto Initiating test run... ⚡ This is a turbo test run. https://codecrafters.io/turbo Running tests. Logs should appear shortly... [compile] -- Running vcpkg install [compile] All requested packages are currently installed.

[compile] If you think this is a CodeCrafters error, please let us know at hello@codecrafters.io. ``` even though that there is `TEST_SOURCES` given for `tests` target it will still fail. if I commented everything for `tests` it will return to normal but I don’t want to do that since it will diverge into inconvenience later ---

@ycsvenom Looks like `codecrafters test` was having trouble picking up the changes from `CMakeLists.txt` and `src/tests`. Could you try committing and pushing those changes to see if that resolves the `No SOURCES given to target: tests` issue? I can get a new error after doing that: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/codecrafters/original/2X/6/6dd91fa8a5094c0b3b2ffc45a6442e887892451a.jpeg) ---

Sorry for late response, Can’t you make a new branch? it’s best to not mess a lot with the branch just for debugging Thanks a lot ---

@ycsvenom I haven’t made any changes to your master branch since the initial fix. The screenshot above was from a cloned copy. Could you try committing and pushing any changes (instead of using `codecrafters test`) to see if that resolves the `No SOURCES given to target: tests` issue? ---

I am sorry again for keeping you wait, I had a severe muscle strain in my neck and my free period has ended so there is no point to fix it, thanks again anyway, In the mean time I will try to fix my code to handle multiple peers instead of because it keeps getting time exceeded for one piece downloads ---

No worries at all. Hope you’re feeling better now! ---
