Quality Assurance Projects - Issue Tracker DELETE test failing

JavaScript
1
  • You can send a DELETE request to /api/issues/{projectname} with an _id to delete an issue. If no _id is sent, the return value is { error: 'missing _id' }. On success, the return value is { result: 'successfully deleted', '_id': _id }. On failure, the return value is { error: 'could not delete', '_id': _id }.

Here is my code for the .delete:

.delete(function(req, res) {
var project = req.params.project;

  console.log(`delete from ${project}`);
  //return if no id sent
  if (!req.body._id) {
    return res.json({ error: 'missing _id' });
  }

  //find and remove in order to delete issue
  Issue.findByIdAndRemove(req.body._id, function(err, doc) {
    if (!doc || err) {
return res.status(500).json({ error: 'could not delete', _id: req.body._id });
    } else {
return res.status(200).json({ result: 'successfully deleted', _id: req.body._id });
    }
  })
});

I think it may be casued by the issue not being in the database but I would assume that free code camps tests would setup an issue to delete when it goes to call the .delete function?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated… I’ve been stuck on this project for weeks! Thank you.
