--description--

Put your password variable declaration and the following for loop inside a while loop. Use True as the condition for your new loop.

--hints--

You should create a while True loop enclosing your existing password declaration and for loop.

js
({ test: () => {
    
    const commentless_code = __helpers.python.removeComments(code);
    const {block_body} = __helpers.python.getBlock(commentless_code, /while\s+True\s*/);
    assert(block_body.match(/^\s+password\s*=\s*("|')\1\s*^\s+for\s+_\s+in\s+range\s*\(\s*length\s*\s*\)\s*:\s*^\s+password\s*\+=\s*secrets\.choice\s*\(\s*all_characters\s*\)\s*$/m));    
    const {block_body: for_body} = __helpers.python.getBlock(commentless_code, /for\s+_\s+in\s+range\s*\(\s*length\s*\s*\)\s*/);
    assert(for_body.match(/^\s+password\s*\+=\s*secrets\.choice\s*\(\s*all_characters\s*\)\s*$/m));  
  }
})

def generate_password(length, nums, special_chars, uppercase, lowercase):
    # Define the possible characters for the password

    # Combine all characters
    all_characters = letters + digits + symbols
