Getting error running "npm run start" for week 4 Python coding

I am working on the homework for Wk 4 with python coding. I got this error on the command line in Gitpod after running npm run start (entire log below)

Hi @carterericam_194048,

I can reproduce this error if I do not create the environment variable for BASE_ADDRESS.

A .env file is required before you can build the application. This file needs to be added to the root of the project and called .env. This file contains all the environment variables required for the application. Currently the only environment variable that needs to be set is BASE_ADDRESS.

Note that gitpod does not autosave by default, so make sure that the file is saved before you build the UI.

If you are working with the Python backend, see step 4 here:

https://community.datastax.com/questions/6796/how-to-upload-the-secure-connection-bundle-via-ui-1.html

I hope this helps!

Thanks Bettina. i got the error after I created an .env file and added the BASE ADDRESS code and then placed the file in the solution explorer root for week4 in Gitpod. So, I went back to the class recording. He created the file directly on the command line, so I did the same thing....success.
