doesn't the console tell you an error happens when trying to make that request? unless the typo URL is actually a valid URL that returns a 200 response
It sure does, they have to open the debugger to find that out though. I do give them the hint that "I would use the debugger".
Ah nice -- yeah we have a similar interview that tests debugging as well so glad to hear other people do it. We have found it really effective as it is a skill that is often overlooked in technical interviews but is something you do on a day-to-day basis. We have it so some tests fail despite the fact they LOOK like they should pass. Props to you for having a practical technical interview :)
