## Run Functional Tests on an API Response using Chai-HTTP III - PUT method
To begin, open the file "tests/2_functional_tests.js" and locate the test 'send {surname: "Colombo"}'

## Hint 1
2018-10-12 15:37:13 -04:00
Using the example above, look at the assertions and how they are making comparisons between the expected and actual values of the response
## Hint 2
You need to use .send() to attach the payload `{surname: 'Colombo'}` to the request
## Hint 3
Replace the `assert.fail()` statement with your own tests checking for status, type, body.name, and body.surname in that order. Remember, all of these values are contained in the response (`res`), and you should expect the response to be of type `'application/json'`.
## Solution
```js
test('send {surname: "Colombo"}', function(done){
// we setup the request for you...
chai.request(server)
.put('/travellers')
/** send {surname: 'Colombo'} here **/
.send({surname: 'Colombo'})
// .send({...})
.end(function(err, res){
/** your tests here **/
assert.equal(res.status, 200, 'response status should be 200');
assert.equal(res.type, 'application/json', "Response should be json");
assert.equal(res.body.name, 'Cristoforo', 'res.body.name should be "Christoforo"');
assert.equal(res.body.surname, 'Colombo', 'res.body.surname should be "Colombo"');
done(); // Never forget the 'done()' callback...
});
});
```
