Hello there,

Nothing immediately jumps out that could be failing the test, but I do have a few comments on the code:

  1. Using global values for a multi-threaded environment does not work. The same goes for asynchronous calls (this could be why the tests are failing). This is why you are encouraged (and taught) to use a database
  2. It is confusing to send a status 200 with an error message: res.sendStatus(200).send("Invalid user id");
  3. Unless I missed it, you do not use the fr and to variables
  const fr = new Date(req.query.from).getDate();
  const to = new Date(req.query.to).getDate();

I hope you figure out how to move forward with the tests, and hope this helps.
