Did you follow these instructions?

. At the top of your myApp.js file, add require('dotenv').config() to load the environment variables.

hbar1st,
Thank you for your reply.
I thought ‘dotenv’ is just required for those who are working locally. I already added that and still not passing.

FYI, the object is being served , but still not passing, that’s my question, here is a copy of the served page:
{
“message”: “HELLO JSON”
}

Please advise.
Regards.

can you post all your code because what you posted seems to be just partial?

Addel
