"Launch Workspace" button launches wrong workspace

The "Launch Workspace" button does not launch the workspace that is shown in the video.

It's not always filled in according to the lesson in the video. If you included information about the lesson you are working in that would be helpful in getting you a good answer for your question.

Reposting answer from a similar thread that are nice and clear from https://teamtreehouse.com/autumnwind

I had the same problem. It seems there is a bug, but you can get around it by the following steps:

  1. Click "Launch Workspace"
  2. When the modal window pops up: Click "Launch Different Workspace"
  3. Fill out the form: Enter a title (e.g. "My Uses for Closures"), select "Any Environment," and finally, select the workspace template that matches the name of this video ("Uses for Closures").

Submit the form, and that should get you the right workspace.

In case anyone else is experiencing a similar problem, you can launch the relevant workspace by clicking "Launch different workspace" and then "Create new workspace". From there you just have to select the relevant video lesson in the "Pick an existing workspace or template to start from" selector, which in this case is 'Uses for closures' and give a name to the workspace.
