My get route:

app.get('/api/:date?', function (req, res) {
  let date = req.params.date;
  let myDate = !date
    ? new Date()
    : new Date(isNum(date) ? parseInt(date) : date);
  let utc = myDate.toUTCString();
  let unix = myDate.getTime();
  res.json(
    utc === 'Invalid Date'
      ? { error: 'Invalid date' }
      : { unix, utc }
  );
});

When I run the tests, I get this:
An empty date parameter should return the current time in a JSON object with a unix key An empty date parameter should return the current time in a JSON object with a utc key

When I visit my api with no date param I get this response.
{“unix”:1703710982628,“utc”:“Wed, 27 Dec 2023 21:03:02 GMT”}

I’ve had another look at this and I still can’t pass the tests.
My server is responding with the correct JSON object to calls with “empty date parameter”

Incoming: /api/this-is-not-a-date
{ error: 'Invalid date' }
Incoming: /api
{ unix: 1713724728735, utc: 'Sun, 21 Apr 2024 18:38:48 GMT' }
Incoming: /api
{ unix: 1713724728836, utc: 'Sun, 21 Apr 2024 18:38:48 GMT' }

What you see above is the console log on the server of the incoming request and what is going to be sent back. Please help!

Your code is passing for me. Make sure you submit the root URL and not the one with the /api path.
