Code is working but the tests are timing out and thus not passing

In the url shortening microservice project, the code I am trying to submit works well for me but the tests timing out. This is what’s popping up -
You can POST a URL to /api/shorturl and get a JSON response with original_url and short_urlproperties. Here’s an example:{ original_url : 'https://freeCodeCamp.org', short_url : 1}(Test timed out) When you visit/api/shorturl/<short_url>, you will be redirected to the original URL. (Test timed out)

im not getting “timed out” error, seems like you have solved it maybe?!

They’re still timing out for me… test 2 and 3.

Sorry for the late reply btw

did you try to troubleshoot this? if so, what have you tried, also share code snippet where possible, thanks :slight_smile:

@ RandellDawson That’s because I was tinkering with the code recently and might have removed it in the process. Sorry to misdirect you…I should have copied the code and tinkered with the copy instead.

I think there was a problem with Replit or my system or with the internet, idk, because the tests are passing now even though the code is still exactly the same as the one I originally wrote.

And I promise I had the res.json() in my original code too.
