const https = require("https");
let request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => { console.log(response.statusCode); });
request.on('error', error => {
console.error(Problem is ${error.message}!
); //this line causes error
});
const https = require("https");
let request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => {
console.log(response.statusCode);
});
request.on('error', error => {
console.error(`Problem is ${error.message}!`);
});

The final task says: Finally, in the error callback, use the error method on the console to print out the error message.
So the challenge isn't expecting a string containing the error, just the error message itself:
console.error(error.message);
