during submitting ,it is showing internal error

[Reemkhan09]

after completing my test whenever i m trying to submit my test it is showing internal error what should i do how to fix it

[hobovsky]

What kata is this? In what language? Does the same problem appear for every kata, or only for some of them? Can you show a screenshot of the error? Does the problem appear on every attempt, or only sometimes?

This has happened to me a lot too the last few days. It doesn't always happen. It can happen not just when submitting a kata but also when doing other things like sorting the solutions. The personal stats are still updated (for me at least)

This issue just happened to me. Short description below:

• I completed "8 kyu Square(n) Sum" using Javascript.
• I tested my answer (successful), then attempted my answer (successful).
• I did not refactor my answer. I clicked on submit.
• The page immediately moved to the next page (which isn't common, it usually stays at the submit page for 5-10 seconds)
• The page was blank and stayed there for over 15 seconds. I scrolled up and down to see if it froze, then it gave the internal error
• I refreshed the page, and it went through. I was still given the honor points and the page refreshed to the proper solutions page.

*Note: I code my answers in my IDE (InteliJ Idea) and then copy-paste into the codeWars editor (this shouldn't affect anything but mentioned just in case)

Hope this helps!

Happened to me once, just now. Only did 1 kata so far, this was it. Python, the squared digits kata. I edited all in the codewars window ide. Finally got it right, tested and attempted, ok. Then I went to do something, maybe 10min, 30min, dunno. Then I thought, OMG I'm still on the timer! so I clicked on Submit. I went away again. Came back, and it was showing that error. Not sure if codewars remembers how long it took us, didn't see a timer.

Same. Did some 6 kyu python 3.11 kata and submit results in internal server error.

This Kata: "Stop gninnipS My sdroW" (https://www.codewars.com/kata/5264d2b162488dc400000001/train/python).
Python 3.11.

This code, when submitted gives internal server error:

def spin_words(sentence):
    words = sentence.split()
    for i, word in enumerate(words):
        if len(word)>=5:
            words[i] = word[::-1]
    return " ".join(words)

Same here, everytime I submit a solution (no matter which kata the problem belongs to), I get internal server error. It's been happening since the past few days.

Janarthanan6119, your problem has another underlying cause than the issue discussed in this ticket. Your error should have gone away now.

I am getting this error now submitting 4 kyu "Matrix Determinant" in C++. Multiple submissions and after reading the above comments tried refreshing but no love unfortunately.

I am so glad I started pasting my work into Notepad++ when I start refactoring 'cause my solution was gone when I hit back.
/whew
