I’m stuck on Stage #EJ5

I’ve tried

```auto
codecrafters test

```

Here are my logs:

```auto
[compile] warning: `codecrafters-http-server` (bin "main") generated 4 warnings
[compile] Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 18.99s
[compile] Moved ./.codecrafters/run.sh → ./your_program.sh
[compile] Compilation successful.

Debug = true

Hey @arakitakashi, since main.rs was moved from `src` to `src/bin`, you’ll need to edit `.codecrafters/run.sh` as well:

```auto
exec /tmp/codecrafters-build-http-server-rust/release/main "$@"

```

Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Thanks! I’m glad the suggested method worked and fixed the issue for you.
