Comments parsed as actual code by challenge tests

[ZebulanStanphill]

The tests on challenges parse comments as if they were actual code.

Take this challenge for example:

https://learn.freecodecamp.org/responsive-web-design/css-grid/create-a-column-gap-using-grid-column-gap

Using the following code, I can pass the test (which checks for grid-column-gap to be set to 20px), even though grid-column-gap: 20px is in a comment.

<style>
  .d1{background:LightSkyBlue;}
  .d2{background:LightSalmon;}
  .d3{background:PaleTurquoise;}
  .d4{background:LightPink;}
  .d5{background:PaleGreen;}
  
  .container {
    font-size: 40px;
    min-height: 300px;
    width: 100%;
    background: LightGray;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    /* add your code below this line */
    grid-column-gap: 10px;
    // grid-column-gap: 20px;
    /* add your code above this line */
  }
</style>
  
<div class="container">
  <div class="d1">1</div>
  <div class="d2">2</div>
  <div class="d3">3</div>
  <div class="d4">4</div>
  <div class="d5">5</div>
</div>

This was also an issue on the old version of the website. See freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp#15134

This happens because you need to use /* YOUR COMMENT HERE */ syntax when adding CSS comments. CSS does not have the // COMMENT HERE syntax.

@coolshaurya Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot about that. It looks like there is no problem after all, so I will now close this issue.
