app.get('/', (request, response) => {
  response.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html')
})

app.use("/public", express.static(__dirname + "/public"));

let message = 

app.get('/json', (request, response) => {
  if (process.env['MESSAGE_STYLE'] == 'uppercase') {
    response.json({ "message": "HELLO JSON" })

It looks like you’ve changed your code a bit since you posted this but there are a couple of issues.

app.get('/json', (req, res) => {
  const message = process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === 'uppercase' ? 'HELLO JSON' : 'Hello json ';
  res.json({ message });
});
  1. You have a space at the end of one of the response strings, which may be causing the tests to fail.
  2. You are now returning a json response which does not include the key ‘message’, only the value ‘HELLO JSON’ (or lowercase equivalent). It should be a key/value pair.
