I am on this challenge:

I get this issue:
The /now endpoint should have mounted middleware
The /now endpoint should return a time that is +/- 20 secs from now

This is my code:

This is the output:

Based on research I believe this is correct but why the issues? Help please.

Please use setTimeOut

var delayInMilliseconds = 1000; //1 second

setTimeout(function() {
  //your code to be executed after 1 second
}, delayInMilliseconds);

I hope this will help you.

So like this:

var delayInMilliseconds = 1000; //1 second

app.get('/now', (req, res, next) => {
     req.time = new Date().toString();
     next()
}, (req, res) => {
setTimeout(function() {
  //your code to be executed after 1 second
    res.json({
      'time': req.time
    })
}, delayInMilliseconds);
});

Please use Date() function in setTimeout function.

Your code is passing for me. Please make sure you are submitting the correct URL (without /now).
