doesn't work

This code works in WebStorm not in the code challenge. Can you please give me a hint?

var http = require("http");

var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response){ console.log(response.statusCode); });

request.on("error", function(error){ console.error(error.status); });

app.js 
var http = require("http");

var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response){
  console.log(response.statusCode);
});

request.on("error", function(error){
    console.error(error.status);
           });
