run button is not configure :
go open the tree dots in files,click on show hidden files,scrol down to .replite
in side of thet file :

modules = ["nodejs-18:v3-20230608-f4cd419"]
hidden = [".config", "package-lock.json"]
run = "Use run command "

[nix]
channel = "stable-23_05"

[unitTest]
language = "nodejs"

[deployment]
run = ["sh", "-c", "Use run command "]
deploymentTarget = "cloudrun"
ignorePorts = false

change this :

run = "Use run command "

in to :

run = "node  myApp.js "

then in here :

run = ["sh", "-c", "Use run command "]

do the same :

run = ["sh", "-c", "node   myApp.js "]

Hope his helps…

Basic Node and Express - Serve JSON on a Specific Route

I’ve tried everything possible but it keeps showing not found whenever I try the /json in my web view. I even added a cors but it still isn’t working import express from 'express'; import cors from 'cors'; const app = express(); app.use(cors()); app.get('/json', (req, res) => { return res.status(200).json({"message": "Hello json"}); }); Your project link(s) solution: boilerplate-npm - Replit Your browser information: User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/53…

Basic Node and Express - Serve JSON on a Specific Route

Alright, you just need one file index.js for your express. Include your code and app.listen(3000, () => { // Make your API live console.log('Express server initialized'); }); And the package.json with the express package. Replit provides you a template with the prepared setup. What you need to do is to add the cors and change the routes. Hope this helps.

here is the bilerplete-template link
boilerplate-expres-Meet the Node console
the button is configure
with npm run start …
fork it if you like…

Hi @zaklina

I don’t think node myApp.Js is correct. Shouldn’t it be node myApp.js?

[zaklina]

it is expleind above , you could use

npm run start 

to start the server

[igorgetmeabrain]

Your app should be running from server.js, not myApp.js. Often if you don’t configure the Run command when you initially import the repl, it will try to run from index.js (which in this case does not exist).

In future, ensuring that you configure the Run command when you fork the repl (as per the challenge instructions) should avoid any problems, but you can fix it by making the following edits to the .replit file:

Change entrypoint to server.js.
Ensure that the run command is npm start.
