The problem
Then, in the GET /json route handler that you created in the last challenge, transform the response object’s message to uppercase if process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE equals uppercase. The response object should become {"message": "HELLO JSON"}.
Solution
app.get('/json', function (req, res) {
if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE == "uppercase") {
res.json({ "message": "HELLO JSON" })
} else {
res.json({ "message": "Hello json" })
}
})
This fails everytime.
The output
// running tests
The response of the endpoint /json should change according to the environment variable MESSAGE_STYLE
// tests completed
The response of the endpoint /json should change according to the environment variable MESSAGE_STYLE
I was not really sure of what was going on so I did some googling and I found out that I needed a module, dotenv. I added, require('dotenv').config(). Yet the output is the same. It does not work.
The output in the browser is
{
"message": "HELLO JSON"
}

Any assistance would be highly appreciated.
