I’m working on the “Use the .env File” and I’m running the project in the Codesandbox (tried replit but it’s not working correctly at the moment).
I think the code is OK, I’ll paste it here:
require("dotenv").config();
let express = require("express");
let app = express();
module.exports = app;
console.log("Hello World");
console.log(__dirname);
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/views/index.html");
});
app.use("/public", express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
app.get("/json", (req, res) => {
let msg = "Hello json";
const messageStyle = process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE;
if (messageStyle === "uppercase") {
msg = msg.toUpperCase();
}
res.json({
message: msg,
});
});
The code works, when I change the MESSAGE_STYLE value in the .env file I get the correct behavior:
The issue is that when I try to pass the test in freeCodeCamp, I get the following:
// running tests
The response of the endpoint /json should change according to the environment variable MESSAGE_STYLE
// tests completed
And the test won’t pass.
At the same time I get an error in the nodejs console:
https://www.freecodecamp.org
node:events:491
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
