Hi Elaine,
Thanks for the suggestion of connecting to the Sandbox, that worked after one creates and loads it
In terms of the training, I was just following the Fundamentals course, got up to the reading data module and the query was not working
There were no errors generated, all that happens is you see the 'connecting to Sandbox' message spin for at least 20 seconds, then you get the following query at the top of the screen
MATCH (p:Person)
RETURN p.name
However, when you try and execute the commend, the entry box just clears. No matter what you type in there, all that happens is the entry box clears
I did not see any instructions in the previous parts of the course that mentioned anything about the Sandbox, connecting to it or creating Sandbox DB's. Perhaps this vital step could be added to save others the frustration?
I only got things working after trying 3 different browsers, searching Google and then finally searching in the neo4J community where I found your post
If I had have got an error on the query page in the training, I might have fathomed that it needed my specific sandbox to connect to, I had assumed that the sandbox was generic, hence why I never thought that I needed to connect to and create one specifically for myself
As stated, perhaps there is some refinement in the training notes that could be done to ensure others do not run into the same issue? There are repeat related posts about the Sandbox not working, I suspect a lot of them could be avoided if there was mentioned of the vital step of connecting to and creating your own DB in your Sandbox arena? (assuming I didn't miss this in the instructions myself!)
Anyhow, thank you for all the work you put into neo4J 🙂
