My test is not passing

JavaScript
1

I’ve been working on the Basic node and express curriculum, precisely the Chain Middleware to Create a Time Server exercise but my test has not been passing and it is working giving the right result.

The exercise is hosted on repl.it
This is my code below:

app.get("/now", 
    (req, res, next) => {
        req.time = new Date().toString();
        next();
    }, 
    (req, res) => {
        console.log({ time: req.time });
        res.send({ time: req.time})
    }
);

Project link: https://boilerplate-express.devadeboye.repl.co/now

This is the error message from freeCodeCamp

The /now endpoint should have mounted middleware
The /now endpoint should return a time that is +/- 20 secs from now

The link you have is dead.

On first look, are you missing the closing curly brace and closing parenthesis for the res.send call?

3

not in the code, i must have mistakenly delete the closing tags while editing.

4

i think its dead because i didn’t add the /now endpoint. if you click the link now, you will see that its working but freeCodeCamp can’t somehow see it

5

Try using res.json instead.

If that doesn’t work, please provide a link to the repl.

The code itself you have right now passes for me when I test it. But if I fork your project it fails.

Try uninstalling fcc-express-bground and re-adding it back.

  1. In the console npm uninstall fcc-express-bground

  2. Paste "fcc-express-bground": "https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/fcc-express-bground-pkg.git" back into the package.json and run it.

Try the submit again.

Ah! you saved me… Thank you everyone, it has pass the test. I’m really grateful. I discovered that adding the slash at the end of the url when submitting the link too is important e.g
https://boilerplate-express.devadeboye.repl.co will not work except you add slash at the back
