Is it possible to get some help debugging this issue? My code can run from the first pipeline stage to GP4 without issue, but I can no longer pass even the first stage even though I used to be able to back in February. Did something change? I now fail even the first stage with `Expected prompt (“$ “) but received “”` I added a few additional logs to show that the test harness did not even finish compiling the program before the error prompt came in in the screenshot.

Hey @Spiderpig86, could you [upload your code to GitHub](https://docs.codecrafters.io/features/publish-to-github) and share the link? It will be much easier to debug if I can run it directly. ---

I did some more testing with the test harness and I still can’t seem to pinpoint the issue. I was able to pass the first stage again by putting an artificial delay of 5 seconds in ShellExecutable start().However, there are more failures existing test cases I used to pass ---

I was able to make modifications to my program and was able to pass the tests locally. For some reason I can’t pinpoint what is delaying on the test runner. Either the compilation takes too long or the program is still not starting up in time (but I set the timeout from 15 → 5 seconds locally and it passes just fine) ---

Just tried resetting my own branch back to the setup you have here: [build-your-own-shell/solutions/go/01-oo8/code at main · codecrafters-io/build-your-own-shell · GitHub](https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-shell/tree/main/solutions/go/01-oo8/code) `codecrafters test --previous` still fails regardless if the only file I have left is `main.go` and all it does is print something. Is there something wrong with go-1.22? I can get the tester to run successfully locally but it doesn’t work remotely. ---

@Spiderpig86 Were you able to resolve the issue? I cannot access your repo on GitHub. ---

I have not been able to resolve it. The test runner runs the program fine locally but not remotely on your servers. I have made the repo available again. ---

@Spiderpig86 It looks like the issue was caused by the old Go v1.22 setup. I’ve now upgraded the buildpack for your repo to v1.24 and pushed a new commit to it. You can run `git pull` to sync the changes. Let me know if the issue persists! ---
