JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
My test won’t pass, already searched many posts on this forum, but i can’t get my problem figured out, already added the .env file which i thought was the problem, but that’s about it, I thank everyone in advance for the support!

Your code so far
Repl.it link :
https://repl.it/@f3rn4nd0000/boilerplate-express#myApp.js

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
require('dotenv').config();

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
var path = __dirname + "/views/index.html"
res.sendFile(path)  
})

var path2 = __dirname + "/public"
app.use(express.static(path2))

app.get('/json',(req,res) => {
if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === "uppercase") {  
  res.json({"message": "HELLO JSON"})
} else {
  res.json({"message": "Hello Json"});
}
})

 module.exports = app;

Hello there,

The problem is a typo here:

res.json({"message": "Hello Json"});

Remember, in programming, every single letter and its capitalisation counts.

For future posts, please include a link to your project code, as this could be more useful.

Hope this helps

Can’t actually believe it was just this, thanks!

Don’t want to be rude at all but what do you mean by a link to your project?
i posted the repl.it link, is there another one that i should’ve posted?

Sorry, this was my mistake. I took too quick a glance, when I first looked. :blush:
