I am currently on lesson 5 on a mac...when I type in node deploy.js in the terminal it doesn't run the code. Has anyone had this issue?

@ThisisOat Open this on Google Chrome, go to settings => More Tools => Developer Tools => Console. You will see that there.

@ThisisOat could you share your folder structure

[alymurtazamemon]

@ThisisOat 3 dots to the top-right corner. And as @technophile-04 said also call the function and correct mistakes.

[alymurtazamemon]

@ThisisOat Let's follow this way and you will get the output on the console.

async function hi() {
  console.log("hi");
}

hi()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((e) => {
    console.log(e);
    process.exit(1);
  });

Good morning. Here is an updated picture of my layout...The three dots at the top right only give the four options pictured...I am going to run through the visual studio code set up portion of the course again and see if it is something I may have not downloaded correctly .

Sheesh. So the problem was that there was multiple formatters open for the file (Rookie Mistake) -_- . The notification bell on the bottom right was trying to show me, but I didn't notice it till this morning. As soon as I set one to the default formatter it started working correctly!! Big thanks to both of you @technophile-04 and @ali-thegilfoyle for your patience and willingness to help. Many blessings to both of y'all. Have an amazing day!!!!

@ThisisOat You forgot to call the function hii() at the bottom its never been called therefore it's not executed thats why you getting no output, also make sure you declare the toto variable correctly, or else you will get an error
full working code :

function hii(){
      console.log("hii");
-     let (toto) = 5;
+     let toto = 5;
      console.log(toto);
}

+   hii();

Thank you...That was part of the problem as well !

[ThisisOat]

ok right on i appreciate it...I'm still not getting it and don't want to waste anymore time or y'all's time either...I am pretty tired so I think ill just sleep on it and come back to it in the morning with a fresh mind. It seems like something super simple that I'm just not getting, maybe some sleep will fix it...ya'll have a blessed night...Thank you !

@ThisisOat I have mentioned another way that you can also see in the morning.

[ThisisOat]

[alymurtazamemon]

@ThisisOat add this also

hi()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((e) => {
    console.log(e);
    process.exit(1);
  });

[ThisisOat]

ok will do

[ThisisOat]

For some reason I'm still just getting the blank terminal.

[alymurtazamemon]

@ThisisOat you are missing async, please copy-paste the whole code from above.

[ThisisOat]

wait I forgot to add the async...I just fixed it but still the same thing

[technophile-04]

make sure you save the code and try again?

[ThisisOat]

Sheesh. So the problem was that there was multiple formatters open for the file (Rookie Mistake) -_- as well as me not calling the function correctly. The notification bell on the bottom right was trying to tell me to pick a default formatter, but I didn't notice it till this morning. As soon as I set one to the default formatter and called the function correctly it started working!! Big thanks to both of you @technophile-04 and @ali-thegilfoyle for your patience and willingness to help. Many blessings to both of y'all. Have an amazing day!!!! Here is a pic of it working with the correct format.
