Yohhh, this project has been crazy dodgy: been working on it for 3-4 days already 
I will really appreciate it if anyone can pinpoint what the problem is here, as the output does match what the tests require (I strive to add explanatory comments to make my code easy to follow, so I hope to make it easy for anyone who attempts to see where the issue is. Feel free to give feedback on whether said comments are helpful or not!)
Only one test is failing now (plus the test for the functional tests which I’ve yet to write):
You can send a
PUTrequest to/api/issues/{projectname}with an_idand one or more fields to update. On success, theupdated_onfield should be updated, and returned should be{ result: 'successfully updated', '_id': _id }.
Console message:
[Error: expected 1711202836287 to be above 1711202836287]
I’m assuming it’ s comparing the updated_on field with the created_on field. The thing is, the updated_on IS updated and it’s always above the value for created_on, both in manual tests as well as in automated tests:
{
"_id": "65fee215808ad39bc0a1fe34",
"issue_title": "Issue to be Updated",
"issue_text": "New Issue Text",
"created_by": "fCC",
"assigned_to": "",
"open": true,
"status_text": "",
"project_name": "fcc-project",
"created_on": "2024-03-23T14:07:17.340Z", <--- //HERE
"updated_on": "2024-03-23T14:07:17.457Z", <--- //HERE
"__v": 0
}
The test/error string is quite lengthy, but I believe the relevant snippet would be:
const getUpdatedId = await $.get(url + '?_id=' + itemToUpdate._id);
assert.isArray(getUpdatedId);
assert.isObject(getUpdatedId[0]);
assert.isAbove(
Date.parse(getUpdatedId[0].updated_on), <--- HERE
Date.parse(getUpdatedId[0].created_on) <--- HERE
);
Seeing as the .isAbove() test is the one being triggered, I’m assuming that .isArray and .isObject are passing and that the object is retrieved correctly.
Also, if 1711202836287 is a unixtimestamp, then it would correspond to the date 2024-11-27T00:30:03.613Z which is eight months from now (Nov. 27), so I’ve no idea why the tests would read that value, let alone expect it to be higher.
My code:
It is entirely possible that I’m dragging some mistake from previous methods, routing, database setup, etc., (or that Im wrong about the UNIX timestamp actually being a UNIX timestamp) but for now, keep in mind that all the other tests pass . The snippet for my .put() method is:
.put(function (req, res){
let project = req.params.project; // DIDN'T USE IT IN THIS CASE, AS THE DOCUMENT CAN BE FOUND USING ITS _ID
let _id = req.body._id;
// IF _ID WAS NOT SENT:
if(!_id){
res.send({error: 'missing _id'});
return
};
// CREATE OBJECT WITH VALUES FROM INPUT FIELDS TO COMPARE
let obj = {
"issue_title": req.body.issue_title,
"issue_text": req.body.issue_text,
"created_by" : req.body.created_by,
"assigned_to": req.body.assigned_to,
"open" :req.body.open, //|| "",
"status_text": req.body.status_text
}
// IF ALL INPUT FIELDS ARE EMPTY:
if(Object.values(obj).every(field=>!field)){
// SEND ERROR
res.send({error: 'no update field(s) sent', '_id': _id});
return
}
// IF THERE'S SOMETHING TO CHANGE
Issue.findById({"_id": _id})
.then(data => {
// LOOP THROUGH ALL THE SUBMITTED FIELDS
for(let key in obj) {
// IF SUBMITTED FIELD IS DIFFERENT FROM ORIGINAL FIELD AND IT'S NOT AN EMPTY STRING
if(data[key] != obj[key] && obj[key] ){
// UPDATE ORIGINAL FIELD TO NEW FIELD
data[key] = obj[key]
}
}
// SET UPDATE DATE
data.updated_on = new Date();
// SAVE UPDATED DATA IN MONGOOSE
data.save()
// IF SUCCESSFUL
.then(updatedData=>{
res.send({result: 'successfully updated', '_id': _id});
})
// IF UNSUCCESSFUL
.catch(err=>{
res.send({error: 'could not update', '_id': _id})
})
})
// IF MONGO FAILED TO FIND OBJECT BY ID
.catch(err=>{
res.send({error: 'could not update', '_id': _id})
})
})

- I’m running the project locally
- I have emptied the MongoDB database before running the tests several times.
