# --description--

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on [Repl.it](https://repl.it/github/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai), or cloned from [GitHub](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai/).

# --instructions--

Within `tests/2_functional-tests.js`, alter the `'Test GET /hello with your name'` test (`// #2`) to assert the `status` and the `text` response to make the test pass.

Send your name in the query, appending `?name=<your_name>` to the route. The endpoint responds with `'hello <your_name>'`.

# --hints--

All tests should pass

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=1').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.state, 'passed');
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```

You should test for 'res.status' == 200

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=1').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'equal');
      assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[0], 'res.status');
      assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[1], '200');
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```

You should test for 'res.text' == 'hello Guest'

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=1').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'equal');
      assert.equal(data.assertions[1].args[0], 'res.text');
      assert.match(data.assertions[1].args[1], /hello [\w\d_-]/);
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```
