I’m stuck on Stage #PN5 I’ve tried … (mention what you’ve tried so far). Here are my logs: ```auto remote: Debug = true remote: remote: [tester::#MG5] Running tests for Stage #MG5 (The type builtin: executable files) remote: [tester::#MG5] Running ./your_program.sh remote: [your-program] $ type cat remote: [your-program] cat is /bin/cat remote: [tester::#MG5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type cp remote: [your-program] cp is /bin/cp remote: [tester::#MG5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type mkdir remote: [your-program] mkdir is /bin/mkdir remote: [tester::#MG5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type my_exe remote: [your-program] my_exe is /tmp/blueberry/pear/pear/my_exe remote: [tester::#MG5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type invalid_orange_command remote: [your-program] invalid_orange_command: not found remote: [tester::#MG5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type invalid_banana_command remote: [your-program] invalid_banana_command: not found remote: [tester::#MG5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ remote: [tester::#MG5] Test passed. remote: remote: [tester::#EZ5] Running tests for Stage #EZ5 (The type builtin: builtins) remote: [tester::#EZ5] Running ./your_program.sh remote: [your-program] $ type echo remote: [your-program] echo is a shell builtin remote: [tester::#EZ5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type exit remote: [your-program] exit is a shell builtin remote: [tester::#EZ5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type type remote: [your-program] type is a shell builtin remote: [tester::#EZ5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type invalid_banana_command remote: [your-program] invalid_banana_command: not found remote: [tester::#EZ5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ type invalid_orange_command remote: [your-program] invalid_orange_command: not found remote: [tester::#EZ5] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ remote: [tester::#EZ5] Test passed. remote: remote: [tester::#IZ3] Running tests for Stage #IZ3 (The echo builtin) remote: [tester::#IZ3] Running ./your_program.sh remote: [your-program] $ echo apple strawberry remote: [your-program] apple strawberry remote: [tester::#IZ3] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ echo grape pear mango remote: [your-program] grape pear mango remote: [tester::#IZ3] ✓ Received expected response remote: [your-program] $ remote: [tester::#IZ3] Test passed. remote: remote: [tester::#PN5] Running tests for Stage #PN5 (The exit builtin) remote: [tester::#PN5] Running ./your_program.sh remote: [your-program] $ invalid_banana_command remote: [your-program] $ remote: [tester::#PN5] Output does not match expected value. remote: [tester::#PN5] Expected: "invalid_banana_command: command not found" remote: [tester::#PN5] Received: "$ " remote: [tester::#PN5] Assertion failed. remote: [tester::#PN5] Test failed ``` And here’s a snippet of my code: ```python import sys import os def main(): # Uncomment this block to pass the first stage valid_cmd = ["ls", "abcd"] built_in_cmd = ["echo","exit", "type",] PATH = os.getenv("PATH") #sys.stdout.write("invalid_command: command not found") # Wait for user input while True: sys.stdout.write("$ ") command = input() cmd = command.split(" ") if command == "exit 0": break match cmd[0]: case "echo": sys.stdout.write(" ".join(cmd[1:])) sys.stdout.write("\n") case "type": dir1 = os.popen(f"which {cmd[1]}").read() #print(dir1) #print(f"{cmd[1]} not in built_in_cmd:", cmd[1] not in built_in_cmd ) if (dir1 != "") and (cmd[1] not in built_in_cmd): sys.stdout.write(f"{cmd[1]} is {dir1}") #sys.stdout.write("\n") built_in_cmd.append(cmd[1]) #continue elif cmd[1] not in (built_in_cmd + valid_cmd) : sys.stdout.write(f"{cmd[1]}: not found") #sys.stdout.write("\b"* len(f"{command}: command not found")) sys.stdout.write("\n") elif cmd[1] in built_in_cmd: sys.stdout.write(f"{cmd[1]} is a shell builtin") sys.stdout.write("\n") continue #sys.stdout.write("\n") case "exit": break if __name__ == " __main__": main() ``` ---

@SOUMYADEEPMAHATA Looks like you’ve got past this stage — do you happen to remember what was wrong? Would love to see if we can improve the tester / instructions. ---
