**Hello team,**

When I try to run Exercise 1 of Module 5’s graded assignment, I got this following error that’s unrelated to the code I completed, as it still appears even when I changed simplified to False in the unit test:

```auto
Got: NoOpTracer.start_as_current_span() got an unexpected keyword argument 'openinference_span_kind'

```

When I go ahead to Section 4.2 and run the first cell with full code provided, it throws another error:

```auto
AttributeError: 'ProxyTracer' object has no attribute 'tool'

```

It seems that the tracer may not have been properly configured? Please help take a look.

Thank you.

your exercise 1 is pointing you are using an incorrect variable name.

can you post the complete error screenshot.  
please do not post any codes from the grade function codes as it’s against community guidelines.

Somehow after I restored the original version and tried again, it worked. Must have accidentally changed something. No worries!
