Issue Tracker – PUT request fails

Hello everyone :slight_smile:

I’m working on the Issue Tracker project and I’m stuck on the PUT request (only test that fails). If anyone has a bit of time to look in my code, I would be most thankful !

Here’s the test that I am failing:
You can send a PUT request to /api/issues/{projectname} with an _id and one or more fields to update. On success, the updated_on field should be updated, and returned should be { result: 'successfully updated', '_id': _id }

By adding some console logs and checking my database, it looks to me like this test should be passing, so I really don’t know what I am missing here.

Here’s a link to my Repl , and this is my code in routes/api.js :

'use strict';
//Mongoose setup for db
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connect(process.env["MONGO_URI"], { useNewUrlParser: true });

const issueSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  project_name: {
    type: String,
    required: true
  },
  issue_title: {
    type: String, //mongoose.ObjectId,
    required: true
  },
  issue_text: {
    type: String,
    required: true
  },
  created_on: {
    type: Date,
    default: new Date()
  },
  updated_on: {
    type: Date,
    default: new Date()
  },
  created_by: {
    type: String,
    required: true
  },
  assigned_to: {
    type: String,
    default: "" //optional
  },
  open: {
    type: Boolean,
    default: true
  },
  status_text: {
    type: String,
    default: "" //optional
  }
});

let Issue = mongoose.model('Issue', issueSchema, "issues"); //collection "issues" in db


module.exports = function(app) {

  app.route('/api/issues/:project')

    .get(function(req, res) {

If you look in the console when submitting you can see what test is throwing an error.

Error: expected 1647959183029 to be above 1647959183029

So it looks like the created_on and updated_on are the same value.

Thanks for the tip ! I never thought of looking to the console on the FCC page and didn’t know we could access FCC tests in details on GitHub. It will be very helpful for other projects too ! :slight_smile:

I found my error. I wasn’t allowing a filter on “_id” for my GETs, so the PUT test didn’t find the issue it had posted. Thanks !
