greetings!
I have been trying to solve this challenge but it keeps prompting that test failed with the message:
The response of the endpoint /json should change according to the environment variable MESSAGE_STYLE
Link to my solution on repl.it: https://replit.com/@iitdelhi2017/boilerplate-express
User agent: Google Chrome , Windows 10 Pro version 2004
Challenge: Use the .env File

Any help would be splendid.
Thank You
const mySecret = process.env['MESSAGE_STYLE']
mySecret is initialized only when the app is started, so it will only ever be what you have specified it to be in the environment variable once the app is started. Behind the scenes, the test changes the value of the environment variable without restarting your app while making calls to the /json endpoint. Move the mySecret initialization to be inside the handler, so it gets set each time the environment variable gets changed behind the scenes.
