This is pretty different from the instructions.

Did you actually follow the instructions, or just cut this from somewhere and paste it in? Some of the issues are:

  • the challenge did not ask for a variable "request" to be created
  • the accents around the string are used for template interpolation, regular quotes will do here
  • the challenge does not ask for the entire response object to be logged
  • the challenge does ask for just the result code to be logged

Remember that the challenges are not just duplicates of work done in the video projects. Always read and follow the directions carefully.
