home route never used. server loads the error route unless a username is entered.

Here are my routes:

var Profile = require("./profile.js"); var renderer = require("./renderer.js");

//Handle HTTP route GET / and POST / i.e Home function home(request, response) { //if url=== "/" && GET if(request.url === "/"){ //show search response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); renderer.view("header", {}, response); renderer.view("search", {}, response); renderer.view("footer", {}, response); response.end(); } //if url === "/" && POST //redirect to /:username } //Handle HTTP route GET /:username i.e. /ericmoody function user(request, response) { // if url === "/...." var username = request.url.replace("/", ""); if(username.length > 0){ response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); renderer.view("header", {}, response); //get json from Treehouse var studentProfile = new Profile(username); // on "end" studentProfile.on("end", function (profileJSON) { //show profile

  //Store the values which we need
  var values = {
    avatarUrl: profileJSON.gravatar_url,
    username: profileJSON.profile_name,
    badges: profileJSON.badges.length,
    javascriptPoints: profileJSON.points.JavaScript
  }
  //Simple response
  renderer.view("profile", values, response);
  renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
  response.end();

});

// on "error"
studentProfile.on("error", function (error) {
  //show error
  renderer.view("error", {errorMessage: error.message}, response);
  renderer.view("search", {}, response);
  renderer.view("footer", {}, response);
  response.end();
});

} }

module.exports.home = home; module.exports.user = user;

if(request.url === "/") seems to be false even with a url such as 127.0.0.1:3000/ and if(username.length > 0) seem to be evaluating to true with the same url.

url 127.0.0.1:3000 also causes the error route to load

the error occurs is .length > 1 as well.
