Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

Here is the code

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
const mySecret = process.env['MESSAGE_STYLE']

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  var absolutePath = __dirname + '/views/index.html';
  res.sendFile(absolutePath);
})
app.use( '/public',
  express.static( __dirname + "/public")

)
app.get('/json',function(req,res){
  res.json({
    "message":"Hello json"
  })
  if(mySecret == 'allCaps'){
    message = "Hello World".toUpperCase();
  }
})
































module.exports = app;

are you sure this is the value that it should be?

wasn’t it Hello json?

You also have the issue that

this can only take the value it has when the app is started, but the value can change later
