Description

When in the homework view and edit the code, a box pop's up that says:

Error: Your action was not saved!
The error was TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'score')
Status Code: 201
Detail: "none".
Please report this error.

Also, i can't figure out how to get credit for homework assignment. everything i do doesn't change the score from zero. this is my first time teaching with the book, so it might be me, but i was wondering if it might be related to this error also.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the error at the reported assignment URL while editing code and submitting homework. No source file or test is named in the report, so trace the save action from this student assignment view and inspect the TypeError involving score. Done means the action saves without the error and the assignment score no longer remains at zero when credit is earned.
