## Description

<section id='description'>

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on <a href="https://repl.it/github/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai">Repl.it</a>, or cloned from <a href='https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai/'>GitHub</a>.
This exercise is similar to the preceding one. Look at it for the details.

Now that you have seen how it is done, it is your turn to do it from scratch.

## Instructions

<section id='instructions'>

Within `tests/2_functional-tests.js`, alter the `'send {surname: "da Verrazzano"}'` test (`// #4`):

Send the following JSON response as a payload to the `/travellers` route:

```json
{
  "surname": "da Verrazzano"
}
```

Check for the following, within a `request.end` callback:

1. `status`
2. `type`
3. `body.name`
4. `body.surname`

Follow the assertion order above - we rely on it. Be sure to remove `assert.fail()`, once complete.

## Tests

```yml
tests:
  - text: All tests should pass
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.status' to be 200
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[0], 'res.status'); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[1], '200');}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.type' to be 'application/json'
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[1].args[0], 'res.type'); assert.match(data.assertions[1].args[1], /('|")application\/json\1/);}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.body.name' to be 'Giovanni'
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[2].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[2].args[0], 'res.body.name'); assert.match(data.assertions[2].args[1], /('|")Giovanni\1/);}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.body.surname' to be 'da Verrazzano'
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[3].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[3].args[0], 'res.body.surname'); assert.match(data.assertions[3].args[1], /('|")da Verrazzano\1/);}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
