Thanks for taking the time to report this. However it isn't a bug, this is the intended behaviour. That button is really only an indicator for what path the user is correctly on when they are viewing all paths.

But I can see how the "resume" wording can be confusing. We're planning on moving path selection to the paths themselves as part of this story - #3094. That will allow us to remove these buttons and use a different way to show the users current path.

Then why does the Resume button in the Dashboard page takes you to the current working lesson and this one doesn’t? It seems to me that both buttons are intended to do the same thing.

Also why have a View button next to it that takes you to the same page as the Resume button?

I'm not sure if I completely understood you or if I didn't describe the bug correctly.

Somebody asked about the same thing on Discord on recently - https://discord.com/channels/505093832157691914/997169784955342890/997179166594179112

The main intention with the resume button is to be an indication to the user they are on that path. Clicking the button would ideally take you to the lesson you left off at in the path just like we do with the resume button and courses on the dashboard. However, we have to put some big changes in place to make that work. We'll be tackling it soon.

#3094 is going to be how we tackle it, that will allow us to remove the "Resume" and "Select" buttons on the path cards.

Edit: I think some confusion is coming from foundations only having one course. When your on a full stack path that has multiple courses, this is what it looks like on the dashboard:

Potentially multiple resume buttons for the different courses.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.
