Basic Node and Express - Use the .env File

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

My code can’t seem to pass the test case. Even though the correct output is being shown at the ‘/json’ endpoint. Any help?

This the code:

app.get(“/json”,(req, res) => {

mySecret = process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE

if( process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE == “uppercase”){
message = “Hello Json”.toUpperCase();
res.json({message})
}
else if( process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE != “uppercase”){
message = “Hello json”;
res.json({message})

}
})

This is my variable in the Secrets tab

Your solution is correct, but you submitted the wrong URL to FCC. You should submit the base URL, without /json at the end, like this:

https://boilerplate-express.k191378.repl.co

If you submit https://boilerplate-express.k191378.repl.co/json, then it will try to connect to https://boilerplate-express.k191378.repl.co/json/json, which does not exist.

You can keep that in mind for future challenges on replit – always submit the base URL of your project.
