Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
I’m not sure what the issue is. I’m using the secret tab variable for MESSAGE_STYLE. The code works and converts “Hello json” to uppercase if the env variable’s value “uppercase”. You can check the /json path to see it works.

I’m not sure its a formatting issue or not but its not passing the challenge.

Link to the challenge:

const mySecret = process.env[‘MESSAGE_STYLE’].trim();

You don’t want to have this as a global variable, try to keep your variables in the smallest/innermost scope possible to avoid unexpected behaviour
