Within `tests/2_functional-tests.js` , alter the `'Test GET /hello with your name'` test (`// #2 `) to assert the ` status` and the `text` response to make the test pass.
Send your name in the query, appending `?name=<your_name>` to the route. The endpoint responds with `'hello <your_name>'` .

All tests should pass
2020-11-26 18:05:42 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional& n=1').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.state, 'passed');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
2018-10-04 13:37:37 +00:00
```

You should test for 'res.status' == 200
2018-10-04 13:37:37 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional& n=1').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);
}
);
```
