Well, I believe your code looks good, but why is it all in the server.js file instead of the myApp.js file?

At the start of this course, it instructed you to add your code to the myApp.js file. In fact, at the bottom of the server.js file it says the following:

Now technically you should be able to run middleware in the server.js file, but perhaps the tests are specifically looking in the myApps.js file for this test, although seems your previous tests passed just fine.
