Cisco OA: Software Engineer Master's (Full Time) - aspiringminds bug/glitch

Has anyone taken the Cisco OA for Software Engineer Master's (Full Time) and ran into issues on the aspiringminds platform?

I took the OA recently and was given 3 questions with 75 minutes to solve. However, none of the test cases for any of the problems actually ran the code that I wrote. The output was always empty, causing all test cases to fail. It did not matter if I returned or printed anything in my functions or not. The output was always empty.

The only way I was able to get output to show in the testcases was to actually call the functions that I wrote manually and provide arguments. However, this would result in only the test cases that had the same arguments as the arguments I provided to pass. I tried to make separate function calls for each testcase separately. However, the output from ALL of my function calls were aggregated into each test case, causing them all to fail. Additionally, even if this did work, there would be no way for me to call functions with arguments corresponding to the hidden test cases.

Please let me know if any of you had a similar experience. It was honestly pretty stressful solving the problems and trying to debug the platorm at the same time. I have taken many OAs before and never ran into an issue like this.
