freeCodeCamp test not accepting even though the app does what it should

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
I’m on the .env file exercise and it’s asking me to turn the response object’s message to uppercase based on the state of the MESSAGE_STYLE. I did it in 3 ways, even hardcoding it to the necessary values but once I submit the tests throw an error. I know the app does what it should since I’m testing it with Postman, I went over the code and the exercise requirements multiple times and it just doesn’t accept it. Am I missing smth obvious or is this a bug?

The app returns

 if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === "uppercase"): 
{
    "message": "HELLO JSON"
}

else:
{
    "message": "hello json"
}

Your code so far

.env file => MESSAGE_STYLE=uppercase


  app.get("/json", (req, res) => {
    let messageStr = 'hello json';
    if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === "uppercase") {
        messageStr = messageStr.toUpperCase();
    }
    let jsonResponse = {message: messageStr}
    res.json(jsonResponse);
});

Challenge: The response of the endpoint /json should change according to the environment variable MESSAGE_STYLE

Welcome, michael

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Note: Backticks are not single quotes.
