We don’t write the solution for you.

Did you try returning a different message like the instructions ask?

5

yes the error message is, ‘not found’

6

I don’t understand what you mean.

transform the response object’s message to uppercase if the variable equals uppercase . The response object should either be {"message": "Hello json"} or {"message": "HELLO JSON"} , depending on the MESSAGE_STYLE value.

You aren’t using the required messages.

You are also putting a get handler inside of a get handler. You didn’t do that on previous steps.

app.get("/json", (req, res) => {
  const mySecret = process.env["MESSAGE_STYLE"]
    if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === "uppercase ")  res.json ({"message": "Hello json"})
});

this is how my code currently look like

This message is not uppercase.

Also, you aren’t returning a message at all when the environment variable is not “uppercase”
