# --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/1_unit-tests.js` under the test labelled `#1` in the `Basic Assertions` suite, change each `assert` to either `assert.isNull` or `assert.isNotNull` to make the test pass (should evaluate to `true`). Do not alter the arguments passed to the asserts.
# --hints--
All tests should pass.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=0').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.state, 'passed');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the first assertion - `isNull` vs. `isNotNull`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=0').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'isNull', 'Null is null');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
You should choose the correct method for the second assertion - `isNull` vs. `isNotNull`.
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=0').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'isNotNull', '1 is not null');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
# --solutions--
```js
/**
Backend challenges don't need solutions,
because they would need to be tested against a full working project.
Please check our contributing guidelines to learn more.
