## Run Functional Tests on API Endpoints using Chai-HTTP

To begin, open the file "tests/2_functional_tests.js" and locate 'Test GET /hello with no name'.

## Hint 1

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

The lines in the test should be changed from `assert.fail()` to an assertion that checks if the two values are equal.

## Solution

```js
test('Test GET /hello with no name',  function(done){ // Don't forget the callback...
  chai.request(server)             // 'server' is the Express App
  .get('/hello')                  // http_method(url). NO NAME in the query !
  .end(function(err, res){        // res is the response object
    
    // Test the status and the text response (see the example above). 
    // Please follow the order -status, -text. We rely on that in our tests.
    // It should respond 'Hello Guest'
    assert.equal(res.status, 200);
    assert.equal(res.text, 'hello Guest');
    done();   // Always call the 'done()' callback when finished.
  });
});
```
