No, i have not , here is the concept of problem:
Store the variable MESSAGE_STYLE=uppercase in the .env file. Then tell the GET /json route handler that you created in the last challenge to transform the response object’s message to uppercase if process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE equals uppercase. The response object should become {“message”: “HELLO JSON”}.

You need to add the file and give the value provided in the challenge text, i.e. MESSAGE_STYLE=uppercase

  1. It is telling you to check

if process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE equals uppercase

  1. It’s asking you to res.json() an object

The response object should become {"message": "HELLO JSON"}

  1. I don’t think it will cause issues but you really shouldn’t have this require statement const process = require('process') in the code.
