6,069 PointsHeads Up, fs.readFileSync() needs to have toString() chained to it
Just wanted to put this here as it took me a bit of messing around before figuring out what was going wrong.
In the video, content.replace()
in mergeValues()
seems to work just fine, but I found I needed to call toString()
on the fs.readFileSync()
function to get the proper string representation of fileContents.

Courses Plus Student 14,209 PointsIs using {encoding: "utf8"} also quicker without another function call? Probably moot but I'm interested. Thanks for pointing this out because I was 100% with you before ending the video, as well!
