res.send({ username: user.username, duration, description, date: doc.date.toDateString(), _id: user._id });

You could try to use res.json() instead. So it will be treated as a json object, that could be the problem, I could not see any error in my browser console when I run the tests. but it does not pass as you say

[maytheu]

thanks for your response, the test still fails after changing it to res.json

The challenge description doesn’t explicitly mention it, but the duration needs to be of type Number, you’ve declared it as String.

[maytheu]

Tried your suggestion but the test still fails

Update
So after defining the type in schema, it turns out that duration is still a string. I had to force the duration to number after the user input

Let duration = Number(req.body.duration)
