Back End Development and APIs Projects - Exercise Tracker

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, I’m try to pass the tests and in 6, I think I meet the requirements but the validation is wrong.

I think it may be the data date or number. I have searched the MDN documentation and I did not find a method to take that date format.

Your POST exercise route is 404’ing everything. Open the browser console while running the tests to monitor progress.

Add some logging in that route

router.post('/users/:_id/exercises', async (req, res) => {
  try{
    //in the html file as a property of name tien [:_id], "I don't want to change the html, it may be for internal FCC balidations
      console.log(`req.body: ${JSON.stringify(req.body)}`);
console.log(`req.params: ${JSON.stringify(req.params)}`);
console.log(`req.query: ${JSON.stringify(req.query)}`);

    console.log('howdy from exercises');
    const _id = req.body[':_id']
    const { description, duration } = req.body;
    let date = req.body['date']
    // if lenght too?
    if(ObjectId.isValid(_id)) console.log(`isValidObjectId -> ${ObjectId.isValid(_id)}`)
    if(!await User.findOne({ _id })) {
        console.log(`I think user ${_id} is not in the DB.`);
        return res.status(404).json({ user: 'not exist' });
    }

and look at the logging output:

req.body: {"description":"test","duration":"60","date":"1990-01-01"}
req.params: {"_id":"640fa3d79698d4cd9230799b"}
req.query: {}
howdy from exercises
I think user undefined is not in the DB.

Always log the route inputs and all route responses when debugging.

Thank you. I have done what you told me.
I have found a configuration that is simpler and more functional than my code and I decided to adapt it.

That is to say “I found”, I changed my configuration. I am trying to improve my English. I am a native Spanish.
