Can't pass .env file section test

JavaScript
#1

Couldn’t pass this section, although it is working fine on my localhost.

I am using local editor and localhost

Completed all the steps asked, installed dotenv npm package as well.

My code so far:
app.js

var express = require('express');

var app = express();

require('dotenv').config();

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

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

app.get('/', (req, res) => {

    res.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html');

})

app.get('/json', (req, res) => {

    let obj = {"message" : "Hello json"}

    if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE = "uppercase") {

        res.json(obj.message.toUpperCase());

    } else {

        res.json(obj.message);

    }

})

.env file
MESSAGE_STYLE="uppercase"

Output is “HELLO JSON” on http://localhost:3000/json

Double check. What does ‘toUpperCase’ actually do? What are you supposed to return?

I don’t think that you are actually returning a json for an object in the specified format.

Thank you!

I learned that toUpperCase returns a new string, and it doesn’t modify the original
So I did this

app.get('/json', (req, res) => {

    let obj = {"message": "Hello json"};

   

    if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE = "uppercase") {

        obj.message = obj.message.toUpperCase();

    }

    res.json(obj);
  

})

localhost:3000/json output is this

{

* "message": "HELLO JSON"

}

What am I missing now?
Still can’t pass the test. It says
The response of the endpoint /json should change according to the environment variable MESSAGE_STYLE
