Exercise Tracker: Can't pass 4th and 6th tests

1

I am working on the Exercise tracker in the API’s and Microservices certification porjects. I am unable to get it to pass the 4th and 6th tests.

4th test: I can add an exercise to any user by posting form data userId(_id), description, duration, and optionally date to /api/exercise/add. If no date supplied it will use current date. App will return the user object with the exercise fields added.

6th test: I can retrieve part of the log of any user by also passing along optional parameters of from & to or limit. (Date format yyyy-mm-dd, limit = int)

As far as I can tell the appo does everything it is supposed to do it just does not pass the tests. I think it may have something to do with how the tests are being returned.

Code for the 4th test POST:

//post exercises
app.post('/api/exercise/add',(req,res)=>{
  console.log('4');
  userModel.findOne({userId:req.body.userid},(err,user) => {
    if(err){
      console.log(err);
      return res.send("user does not exist");
    }
  })
  console.log(req.body.date);
  if(req.body.date === undefined){
    var date = new Date();
  }else{
    var date = new Date(req.body.date);
  }
  
  const exerciseObj = new exerciseModel({
    exerciseDescription:req.body.description,
    duration:parseInt(req.body.duration),
    date:date
  })

userModel.findOne({_id:req.body.userId},(err,foundModel) =>
{
  console.log('3');
  console.log(req.body);
  if(err) return console.log(err);
  foundModel.exercise.push(exerciseObj);
  foundModel.save((err,updatedModel) => {
    if(err) return console.log(err);
  
    return res.json({
      userName: updatedModel.userId,
      description:exerciseObj.description,
      duration:exerciseObj.duration,
      _id:mongoose.Types.ObjectId(exerciseObj._id),
      date:exerciseObj.date.toUTCString()
    });
  })
})
})

Code for the 6th test GET:

//get exercise log
app.get("/api/exercise/log",(req,res)=>{
  console.log('parameters: '+req.query.from);
  userModel.findOne({_id:req.query.userId},(err,foundUser)=>{
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    var startDate = new Date(req.query.from);
    var endDate = new Date(req.query.to);
    var limit = parseInt(req.query.limit);
    var log = [];

    if(req.query.from === undefined && req.query.to === undefined){
      return res.json({userId:foundUser.userId,exerciseCount:foundUser.exercise.length,log:foundUser.exercise});

    }else if(req.query.from != undefined && req.query.to != undefined){
      console.log('startdate: ' + startDate + 'enddate: ' + endDate + 'limit: ' + limit);
      for(var i = 0;i<foundUser.exercise.length;i++){ 
        if(foundUser.exercise[i].date > startDate && foundUser.exercise[i].date < endDate){
          log.push(foundUser.exercise[i]);  
      }}
      if(limit != NaN){
        log = log.slice(0,limit);
      }
      console.log('1')
      console.log('fullexerciselog: ' + foundUser.exercise)
      console.log('UserId: '+ foundUser.userId+ ' _id: '+ foundUser._id+ ' exerciseCount: ' + foundUser.exercise.length + ' log: '+   foundUser.exercise)
      return res.json({userId:foundUser.userId,_id:foundUser._id,exerciseCount:log.length,log:log})
    }else if (req.query.to ===undefined){
      console.log('2')
      for(var i = 0;i<foundUser.exercise.length;i++){
        if(foundUser.exercise[i] > startDate){
          log.push(foundUser.exercise[i]);
        }
      }
      if(limit != NaN){
        log = log.slice(0,limit);
      }
      return res.json({userId:foundUser.userId,exerciseCount:foundUser.exercise.length,log:log})
    }
    })  
    })

Schema:

const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const exerciseSchema = new Schema({
  exerciseDescription:{type:String, required:true},
  duration:{type:Number, required:true},
  date:{type:Date}
})
const userSchema = new Schema({
  userId:{type:String, required: true,unique:true},
  exercise:[exerciseSchema]
})

Thank you in advance for any help.

I changed the date in the 4th Test POST to:

return res.json({
      userName: updatedModel.userId,
      description:exerciseObj.description,
      duration:exerciseObj.duration,
      _id:mongoose.Types.ObjectId(exerciseObj._id),
      date:exerciseObj.date.toDateString()
    });

It still does not pass the tests.

My Schema

const logSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  description: {type: String, required: true},
  duration: {type: Number, required: true},
  date: {type: Date, default: () => new Date()} // useless :v
})

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  username: String,
  log: {type: [logSchema]}
})

My POST

app.route('/api/exercise/add')
    .post((req,res)=>{
      User.findById(req.body.userId,(err,user)=>{
        if(err) return res.send(req.body.userId+" is not a userId")

        // Is the date a number? or a normal string?
        const regex = /[^0-9]/
        if(req.body.date){
          if(regex.test(req.body.date) === true){
            var datt = new Date(req.body.date)
          }
          else{
            var datt = new Date(parseInt(req.body.date))
          }
        }
        else{
          var datt = new Date()
        }
        // datt is the date
        
        user.log.push({
          duration: req.body.duration,
          description: req.body.description,
          date: datt 
        })
        user.save((err,data)=>{
          if(err) return console.log(err)
          res.send({
            _id: req.body.userId, // data.toObject()._id should work as well
            username: data.toObject().username,
            date: datt.toString().slice(0,15),  // response: the correct format
            duration: parseInt(req.body.duration), 
            description: req.body.description
          })
        })
      })
    })
