# --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`, in the `'submit "surname" : "Vespucci" - write your e2e test...'` test (`// #6`), automate filling-in and submitting the form from scratch:

1.  Fill in the form with the `surname` of `Vespucci`
2.  Submit it pressing `'submit'` button

Within the callback:

1.  assert that status is `200`
2.  assert that the text inside the element `span#name` is `'Amerigo'`
3.  assert that the text inside the element `span#surname` is `'Vespucci'`
4.  assert that the element(s) `span#dates` exist and their count is `1`

Do not forget to to remove the `assert.fail()` call.

# --hints--

All tests should pass.

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=6').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.state, 'passed');
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```

You should assert that the headless browser request succeeded.

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=6').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'browser.success');
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```

You should assert that the text inside the element 'span#name' is 'Amerigo'.

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=6').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'browser.text');
      assert.match(data.assertions[1].args[0], /('|")span#name\1/);
      assert.match(data.assertions[1].args[1], /('|")Amerigo\1/);
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```

You should assert that the text inside the element 'span#surname' is 'Vespucci'.

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=6').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.assertions[2].method, 'browser.text');
      assert.match(data.assertions[2].args[0], /('|")span#surname\1/);
      assert.match(data.assertions[2].args[1], /('|")Vespucci\1/);
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```

You should assert that the element 'span#dates' exist and its count is 1.

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=6').then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.assertions[3].method, 'browser.element');
      assert.match(data.assertions[3].args[0], /('|")span#dates\1/);
      assert.equal(data.assertions[3].args[1], 1);
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```
