Challenge: Use the .env File

Link to the challenge:

2 
const mySecret = process.env['MESSAGE_STYLE']

app.get("/json", function(req, res) {
  if (mySecret === "uppercase") {
  response = "Hello json".toUpperCase();
} else {
  response = "Hello json";
}
  // res.json({"message": response})
  res.send(response);
});

You are checking the value of 'MESSAGE_STYLE' out in the global space for this app, which means that line is only run once. However, the test suite changes the value of this environment variable while your app is running. You need to check the value of the environment variable every time the GET request runs.
