I have done the course, and i did it on gitpod.
Here is my code:
'use strict';
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const myDB = require('./connection');
const fccTesting = require('./freeCodeCamp/fcctesting.js');
const app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.set('views', './views/pug')
fccTesting(app); //For FCC testing purposes
app.use('/public', express.static(process.cwd() + '/public'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
res.render('index');
});
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log('Listening on port ' + PORT);
});
Output screenshot:

Hi @Ivankoe96
You don’t need to use npm install.
Start a new workspace.npm run start - the live view should refresh with a flicker.
Happy coding
Hi @Teller
A boilerplate for the freeCodeCamp curriculum referenced in 'Advanced Node/Express Introduction'.
and it automatically ran npm install and also npm run start because of the .gitpod.yml.
I also tried cloning the repo, and pushing to my newly created repo, also still failing.

you need to stop the server and restart it after you make changes, or they will not be in the server
Hi @ILM
I did do that, you can see here on this link:
i have checked the code, and also did a quick search on google. Do you think i made a mistake? Because all tests are failing, even the number 1. Pug should be a dependency

if you want to share your workspace you need to share a snapshot Collaboration & Sharing of Gitpod workspaces - Gitpod Classic
Thank you for the clarification @ILM
Here is the snapshot link: Dashboard

I am not sure it is possible to solve at this time, if you open the browser console there are various errors that get generated when you run the tests
this I think is the issue about it: backend test runner does not set origin on fetch · Issue #60874 · freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp · GitHub
Hello @ILM ,
'use strict';
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const myDB = require('./connection');
const fccTesting = require('./freeCodeCamp/fcctesting.js');
const app = express();
// add this CORS header
app.use((req, res, next) => {
res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept');
res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
next();
});
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.set('views', './views/pug');
fccTesting(app); // For fCC testing purposes
app.use('/public', express.static(process.cwd() + '/public'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
res.render('index');
});
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Listening on port ${PORT}`);
});
But this is only for the first step “Set up a Template Engine”, i haven’t tested this with the following tests.
Hope this helps.
