[Resolved] Checker no longer working?

Hi there. This checker is returning an error, but it used to work. Is this a project-gc error or is something wrong with the checker? https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7M63Q/34254

What error are you seeing? Which caching handle are you testing with it?

Caught exception

[string ""]:1363: attempt to compare nil with string

I tried it with my username (yellow.warbler) and with "MrPirateCat" and got the same error. But several other user names that I tried worked fine! This is a most mysterious error indeed....

Interesting. It took a little while to trace. It seems the given checker sorts by county name but there are some finds where there's no county (Iceland in your case). Not sure why the script doesn't like that scenario.

That's strange! ...is it fixable?

I've contacted the script writer to investigate.
