Description

During the development process, it is important to be able to check what’s going on in your code. Node is just a JavaScript environment. Like client side JavaScript, you can use the console to display useful debug information. On your local machine, you would see the console output in a terminal. On Glitch you can open the logs in the lower part of the screen. You can toggle the log panel with the button ‘Logs’ (top-left, under the app name). We recommend to keep the log panel open while working at these challenges. By reading the logs, you can be aware of the nature of errors that may occur.

Instructions

Modify the myApp.js file to log "Hello World" to the console.

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>"Hello World"</code> should be in the console
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput(''url'') + ''/_api/hello-console'').then(data => { assert.isTrue(data.passed, ''"Hello World" is not in the server console''); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
