🟢 fetch homework doesn't work with the provided files

[edwintorres]

The fetch assignment doesn't work with the provided files. The candidates need to changes the version of a dependency and add a new dependency just to start with the assignment. For example, a candidate I interviewed did not finish his assignment because he struggled to fix it. In the end, he submitted a pseudo-code. I was not sure how to evaluate him because fix the project was not part of the homework.

Any idea which dependency is causing the issue? I was able to download the zip file and run:

(base) fetch % yarn install             
yarn install v1.22.10

Then with some quick and dirty code do:

(base)  fetch % yarn test
yarn run v1.22.10
$ sh ./test/test.sh

I'm going to test this again. Today's candidate told me he had no issues. When I did this exercise months ago I did have problems with the jasmine and karma version. I had to change it from "jasmine-core": "3.6.0" to "jasmine-core": "^2.4.1" and "karma": "5.1.1" to "karma": "^1.7.0". I was using a Windows machine.

I think we've established now that this is a Windows-specific issue. Hoping to get at least some guidance for addressing this up on the hiring guide before our next round!
