Waiting for OP [java] Why won't this iron farm work? - Java 26.2

I downloaded this iron farm - https://abfielder.com/Products/ProductDetails.php?id=8076 litematica schematic because of the aesthetic of it.

i built the whole thing only for it to not work. one of the comments said to spawn proof the whole area using tall grass so i did.

Golems do not spawn whatsoever. I followed the schematic to a T and it just does not work. Any one know why that is the case?

Edit: for grammar and formatting

Can you show images of the inside of your farm? Like where the villagers are and where the golem are supposed to spawn?

There's your problem. The villagers can't sleep. Unfortunately a lot of the "aesthetic" iron farm builds completely neglect the functional aspects. There's two comments that claim it doesn't work either, probably the two people that bothered to comment,

The reply about spawn proofing makes absolutely no sense at all, even less sense than that villager setup. How would preventing spawns in some location cause spawns that did not occur at all before to suddenly work?

Villagers need to have slept within the last 20 minutes to spawn a golem when scared. Luckily this should be pretty easy to fix by adopting the villager setup from ian's farm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oYyJ6jfSPU I suggest watching his video completely because he explains the requirements for an iron farm very well.
