Cant Pass The URL Shortener Microservice Test

JavaScript
1

Hi campers,
Recently I just finish one of my backend project and try to submit the solution, but it doesn’t pass the test. I use eight random character to generate the shorten link, but I’m not sure if this is what causing the issue. Should I use a number as the shorten link like in the example below?

{ original_url : 'https://freeCodeCamp.org', short_url : 1}

Your project link(s)

solution: https://tranquil-fortress-41503.herokuapp.com
githubLink: GitHub - dwisatriow/boilerplate-project-urlshortener at master

The problem is that you return ‘invalid url’ for valid urls. Take for example the challenge url (https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/back-end-development-and-apis/back-end-development-and-apis-projects/url-shortener-microservice) and make sure that a shortened url is returned.

Thank’s @BenGitter , that’s true, I haven’t try a long url with parameter like that. I’ll try to fix it then.
