# --description--
As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on [Replit](https://replit.com/github/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai), or cloned from [GitHub](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai/).
# --instructions--
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>'`.
# --hints--
All tests should pass
```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);
}
);
```
You should test for 'res.status' == 200
```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);
}
);
```
You should test for 'res.text' == 'hello Guest'
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=1').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 [\w\d_-]/);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
