Hi guys,
Why is this challenge not passing? Am I having silly moment?
Thanks, James.
const https = require("https");
const request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => {
console.log(response.statusCode);
});
request.on("error", error => console.error(error.message));

When I tried your code, I got: "Bummer! Cannot read property 'hasCallExpression' of undefined".
I'd guess the "undefined" has something to do with either this or arguments inside the checking code, neither of which get defined when you use the arrow form of function definition.
Just use a conventional anonymous function definition to avoid this issue.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 26,840 PointsYou can't use single or double quotation marks or backticks (interpolation) for the error.message
in console.error
.
In the preceding video, Andrew Chalkley uses
request.on('error', error => console.error(`Problem with request: ${error.message}`));
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message);
}
And it's not explicitly clear that error.message
is valid syntax in the console.error
message for the challenge.

13,253 PointsThanks, this seemed to solve it. Perhaps this is something that should be flagged to Andrew Chalkley ?
