Tell us what’s happening:

hello,
I am facing a problem in this tutorial where my code seems to be working fine when i change the MESSAGE_STYLE value in the .env file, where if it is equal uppercase then the local will display {“messsage”:“HELLO JSON”} otherwise if the MESSAGE_STYLE is any other value then the local {“messsage”:“Hello json”} .

####################

my .env file:

MESSAGE_STYLE=uppercase

####################

myApp.js file:

require('dotenv').config();
let express = require('express');
let app = express();
app.use( 
    "/public", 
    express.static(__dirname + "/public")
    );
    console.log("Hello World");
    app.get("/", function(req, res){
    res.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html');
});

app.get("/json", function(req, res){
    let msg;
    if(process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === 'uppercase'){
         msg = "Hello json".toUpperCase();
    }
    else{
        msg = "Hello json";
    }
    res.json({messsage: msg});
});
 module.exports = app;

I was able to pass the tutorial fortunately, by redoing the whole module from the start, that seemed to make it work.
