challengeType: 2
forumTopicId: 301593
---
## 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>.
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Replace <code>assert.fail()</code>. Test the status and the <code>text.response</code>. Make the test pass.
Don't send a name in the query; the endpoint responds with <code>hello Guest</code>.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: All tests should pass
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=0').then(data => { assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
- text: You should test for 'res.status' == 200
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=0').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.text' == 'hello Guest'
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=0').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[1].args[0], 'res.text'); assert.match(data.assertions[1].args[1], /('|")hello Guest\1/);}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
