Tell us what’s happening:

I keep on getting the same issue with the code where it says

“helmet.hidePoweredBy() middleware should be mounted correctly”

I have tried a few different things and can’t seem to get it to work

We can’t see your code but make sure you added the exact version of helmet that is asked for in the initial challenge 3.21.3

Also, I’m not sure why but the route used for the test is returning Internal Server Error

It should be returning a JSON response like this.

{
  "headers": {
    "x-powered-by": "Express"
},
  "appStack": [
    "hidePoweredBy"
  ]
}

You didn’t remove any of the starting code from myApp.js did you? It should have some stuff at the bottom of that file that you need to keep.

downgrading Helmet to 2.3.0 according to the following temporary solution provided here Information security with HelmetJS #lesson-2 - #4 by ganeshh123 by ganeshh123 seems to work as well
