I’m stuck on Stage #(IP1).

The test checks the output before my program has finished printing it all.

Here are my logs:  
remote: [tester::#IP1] Running tests for Stage #IP1 (Run a program)  
remote: [tester::#IP1] Running ./your\_program.sh  
remote: [your-program] $  
remote: [tester::#IP1] \> my\_exe Emily  
remote: [your-program] Hello Emily  
remote: [tester::#IP1] Expected: “Hello Emily! The secret code is 7427569622.”  
remote: [tester::#IP1] Received: “Hello Emily”  
remote: [your-program] ! The secret code is 7427569622.  
remote: [your-program] $  
remote: [tester::#IP1] Received output does not match expectation.

And here’s a snippet of my code:

```rust
fn execute_external_command(command: &str, arguments: &str) {
    if let Some(path) = find_command(command) {
        Command::new(path)
            .arg(arguments)
            .status()
            .expect("Failed to execute command");
    } else {
        println!("{}: command not found", command);
    }
}

```

Hi @bijancfarahani, 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.

Thanks for sharing the link! I’ll take a look and get back to you by the end of the week.

I tried running your code against the previous stages, but it’s actually no longer passing the stage **#IZ3 (The echo builtin)**.

Suggestions:

1. Use [our CLI](https://docs.codecrafters.io/cli/installation) to test against previous stages by running:

```auto
codecrafters test --previous

```

1. Focus on fixing the early stages first, as later stages depend on them.
