--description--

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Replit, or cloned from GitHub.

--instructions--

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

Send your name as a URL query by appending ?name=<your_name> to the route. The endpoint responds with 'hello <your_name>'.

--hints--

All tests should pass

(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

(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 <your_name>'

(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);
    }
  );
