var findPeopleByName = function(personName, done) {
    Person.find(personName, function (err, data) {
    if(err){
      return done(err);
    }
    return done(null, data);
    })
};

Why does this not work? The test console returns that “Parameter “filter” to find() must be an object, got r@nd0mN4m3”

Have you figured it out? If not, I can help. I ran into the same problem, but then realized that personName isn’t an object, so I turned it into an object and it worked.

#3

No. I have not figured it out. How do I convert the parameter to an object? I tried using JSON.parse(personName) but it does not pass the test.

#4

I found the answer. {name: personName} worked

#5

Thank you very much for your help.

#6

Could you paste your working code? I’m having trouble understanding where to put {name: personName}.
Thanks :slight_smile:

You gotta replace personName parameter into an actual JSON with key : value pair like the author did.
