IBM Cloud Functions is deprecated. Existing Functions entities such as actions, triggers, or sequences will continue to run, but as of 28 December 2023, you can't create new Functions entities. Existing Functions entities are supported until October 2024. Any Functions entities that still exist on that date will be deleted.

Issue Description

I am facing difficulties in storing data in the database as per the provided steps in the lab. The export to the database consistently fails, and I have attempted the process both on the IBM Skills Build Cloud IDE and locally on Visual Studio Code. I have verified that the Cloudant credentials are correct, eliminating that as a potential cause.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Followed the steps outlined in the lab for storing data in the database.
2. Attempted the export to the database on IBM Skills Build Cloud IDE.
3. Repeated the process locally on Visual Studio Code.
4. Ensured that Cloudant credentials are accurate.

Expected Behavior

The data should be successfully stored in the database following the provided steps in the lab.

Actual Behavior

The export to the database consistently fails, and data is not stored as expected.

Additional Information

1. I have attempted the process multiple times to rule out the possibility of a one-time issue.
2. Verified that the Cloudant credentials are correct.
3. Considering the possibility of a missing step or permission issue related to database access in the lab resource.

Environment

1. IBM Skills Build Cloud IDE
2. Visual Studio Code
3. Cloudant as the database

Possible Causes

1. Missing step in the provided lab instructions.
2. Permission issues related to accessing the database in the lab resource.

The Python sample function still uses python-cloudant package while connecting to the Cloudant service, however, it's now outdated and not supported by the cloud platform. It should use ibmcloudant package instead.

Hi

The index.html page located in server\djangoapp\templates\djangoapp\ does not have the viewport meta tag. This tag is essential for responsive design I believe students would want to view their results on their mobile phones sometimes to see what it looks like.

I'm following the tutorial here https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:IBM+CAD0321EN+1T2021/home and after the first section where we add the bootstrap navbar, my result on mobile looks like the image below and I have to zoom.

But when I add the viewport meta tag, it becomes better.

It becomes bolder and student's no longer have to zoom in whilst using their mobile devices.

With the meta viewport applied, new additions to the index page or other pages (if extended) would be clearer and more responsive.
