Hello folks,

We are in Python 101 Make Code Lesson 8 Activity 2. 
We have submitted the code correctly (verified with the lesson guide) as shown below, however, the "Oops, the agent cannot place this block or item" is shown and the lesson activity will not complete. We believe this is a bug with the application.

#Place your function below 
# This function makes the Agent plant trees to its left
def plant_tree():
    agent.set_slot(1)
    agent.till(LEFT)
    agent.place(LEFT)
    agent.set_slot(2)
    agent.place(LEFT)
    agent.place(LEFT)
    agent.place(LEFT)
    agent.place(LEFT)
    agent.place(LEFT)
    agent.place(LEFT)
# Replace the lines below with your code #
agent.move(FORWARD, 1)
plant_tree()
agent.move(FORWARD, 6)
plant_tree()
agent.move(FORWARD, 6)
plant_tree()

  Alright Alex,

  The agent being unable to place bonemeal is a known issue that affects all lessons and worlds, unfortunately.
  However, there is a workaround so that you can proceed with the lesson. When you run your code, you can right-click the agent to open its inventory and take the bonemeal and use it yourself to make the saplings grow.
  A tad bit more manual, but it will allow you to get passed this lesson.
