Tell us what’s happening:
I cannot pass test in Use .env File section even I followed the steps and got the same result
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
const mySecret = process.env['MESSAGE_STYLE']
app.get("/json", (req, res) => {
if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === "uppercase ") {
res.json({
message: "Hello json".toUpperCase()
})
} else {
res.json({
message: "Hello json"
})
}
});

Welcome there,
You are not really following this section of the instructions:
…in the /json
GET route handler you created in the last challenge…
Hope this helps

"uppercase "
you have a space at the end.

I am also having trouble passing this question.
That’s my code:
const mySecret = process.env[‘MESSAGE_STYLE’]
app.get(’/json’, function(req, res){
if(mySecret == ‘uppercase’) {
res.json({message: “HELLO JSON”});
}else {
res.json({message: “Hello json”});
}
})
and I see my code works here https://boilerplate-express-5.samtaitai.repl.co/json
but I cannot pass the test. Please help!

@samtaitai You need to move const mySecret = process.env['MESSAGE_STYLE']
inside the app.get handler function.
BTW, in the future, if you have a question please open a new thread.
