Root level logger middleware should be active*
I’ve been at this for over an hour and I’m still not able to pass my code this is what i have

let express = require(‘express’);
let app = express();
app.use((req, _res, next) => {
console.log(${req.method} ${req.path} '-' ${req.ip});
next();
});

require(‘dotenv’).config();

app.use(/public, express.static(${__dirname}/public));

app.get(“/”, (req, res)=>{
res.sendFile(${__dirname}/views/index.html);
});

app.get(/json, (req, res)=> {
let greeting = ‘Hello json’;

if(process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === 'uppercase') {
    greeting = greeting.toUpperCase();
}
res.json({message: greeting});

});

module.exports = app;

solution: http://localhost:3000

There is an issue with IPv6 that might be causing this to fail on localhost. Try adding this to the server.js file at the top with the rest of the require statements.

const dns = require('dns');
dns.setDefaultResultOrder('ipv4first');

This should hopefully be fixed soon™

Thanks a heap mate! This fixed my issue as well. Code was completely fine but FCC servers kept failing the submission.
Yours is the first post I’ve seen that solves this issue.
