    I'm wondering if this is an error in this lesson. In the instructions, two code blocks are shown, one in Sass and one in CSS. The latter is supposed to be a “translation” of the former, but I think it's missing something.
    
    First, this block is shown:
    [code] 
        .parent {
          color: blue;
          .child {
            font-size: 12px;
          }
        }
        
    [/code]
    
    Then the instructions say “The above SCSS would compile to the following, equivalent CSS:” and the following block is shown:
    [code] 
        .parent {
          color: blue;
        }
        
        .parent .child {
            font-size: 12px;
        }
        
    [/code]
    
    But shouldn't the second block actually look like this?:
    [code] 
        .parent {
          color: blue;
        }
        
        .parent .child {
            **color: blue;**
            font-size: 12px;
        }
        
    [/code]

Then @monikaswi said

    No, because you are using **.parent . child** not only a **.child**. This what you wrote, you can use when you have **.child** only (without **.parent** ) and then you have:
    
    .parent {  
    color: blue;  
    }
    
    .child {  
    **color: blue;**  
    font-size: 12px;  
    }
    
    In **.parent .child**  
    the **.child** inherits from the **.parent** ,  
    so instructions from CodeCademy are correct.

After which, @bertrand_fournel added

    There are some bugs in this course, i follow the instructions but it's still wrong, when i ask the solution, the solution is identical than my response. Anyone know why ?

Then @vic-st said

    That sounds like a bug… you may just want to report it and move on.

Then @bertrand_fournel said

    oh ok, i already reported it, thanks you steven for your help (and your personal webpage is nice:grin:)

After which, @vic-st added

    Awesome! That happens to me a fair bit too…
    
    And yes, my personal website is _muy bonita_

So @it-dev replied

    I am getting the same bug 9 months later! I have reported it but terrible learning experience if you have to get the solution for the thing to work!

@cloudpro29816 replied

    I'm having the same issue too!

After which, @camivazr added

    Shouldn't I see some change in my css file after finishing the excercise? It's the same as in the beginning.  
    I'll leave the example
    
    This is the sass code
    [code] 
        @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Pacifico);
        //Add variables here:
        
        h1 {
          font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
          text-align: center;
        }
        
        .banner {
          font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive;
          height: 400px;
          background-image: url("lemonade.jpg");
          .slogan {
          position: absolute;
          border: 4px solid black;
          top: 200px;
          left: 25%;
          width: 50%;
          height: 200px;
          text-align: center;
          span {
          font-size: 24px;
          line-height: 200px;}
          }
        }
        
        .container {
          text-align: center;
          font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive;
          .icon {
          display: inline-block;
          margin: 2%;
          border: 4px solid black;
          font-size: 32px;}
        }
        
    [/code]
    
    This is the css code
    [code] 
        @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Pacifico);
        h1 {
          font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
          text-align: center;
        }
        
        .banner {
          font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive;
          height: 400px;
          background-image: url("lemonade.jpg");
        }
        
        .container {
          text-align: center;
          font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive;
        }
        
    [/code]

To which @mayart replied

    Hi i'm wondering if someone could let me know if the code below is correct use of scss nesting because when I run the code, an error message : “Did you nest and apply the properties to .slogan inside of banner?” comes up, and I thought I had…
    
    .banner {
    
    font-family: ‘Pacifico', cursive;
    
    height: 400px;
    
    background-image: url(“lemonade.jpg”);
    
    .slogan {
    
    position: absolute;
    
    border: 4px solid black;
    
    top: 200px;
    
    left: 25%;
    
    width: 50%;
    
    height: 200px;
    
    text-align: center;
    
    }
    
    }

Then @script4440352996 said

    The instructions from the beginning says this: Click “Run” to see your changes in the browser and inspect the output in **main.css** . Bur the output is the same from the beginning no changes, is there a bug here

To which @eugenegoh replied

    I'm facing this issue too. It's annoying.

To which @joshxcarter replied

    As reported here two and a half years ago, there is a bug with exercise 1 where the nested scss solution, unless i am mistaken, should be:  
    .banner {  
    font-family: ‘Pacifico', cursive;  
    height: 400px;  
    background-image: url(“lemonade.jpg”);  
    .slogan {  
    position: absolute;  
    border: 4px solid black;  
    top: 200px;  
    left: 25%;  
    width: 50%;  
    height: 200px;  
    text-align: center;  
    }  
    }  
    but the error ‘Did you nest and apply the properties to .slogan?' is returned preventing progress. The solution code will apply the code for the entire lesson including all the following exercises, which corrodes the learning experience too severely.
    
    I have been struggling with this for too long, can we identify and fix this bug please?

@emilyhuang1352302188 replied

    I am also having some kind of issue. I have copied the given ruleset for the .slogan, and the error message is telling me I am not using the 4px when I am??? Unless the pixel is effected by some rule set in any parent ruleset, which I do not think so becuase px is supposed to be fixed and independent. Am I wrong?
    [code] 
        .banner {
          font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive;
          height: 400px;
          background-image: url("lemonade.jpg");
          .slogan {
            position: absolute;
            border: 4px solid black;
            top: 200px;
            left: 25%;
            width: 50%;
            height: 200px;
            text-align: center;
          }
        }
        
    [/code]
    
    The error
    
    > expected div.slogan to have its border style equal to 4px solid black but got 3.98438px solid #000000

After which, @marijnverbiesen added

    Getting the same error message… You can use the solution to go to the next, but the solution is different from what it should be.

Then @bioprotron said
