Don't get 'One and a half' printed to the console

Here is what I've got for the Middleware section (below App settings, above Routes).

app.use((req, res, next) => { console.log('One'); next(); }, (req, res, next) => { console.log('One and a half'); next(); }); app.use((req, res, next) => { console.log('Two'); next(); });

And I can't get 'One and a half' printed. Always get 'One Two One Two' in the console. Reduplication is thanks to redirecting I believe, but how do I get 'One and a half' anyways?

I tried formatting your code and putting in a code block so I could find any errors. I don't see any. Can you copy in the rest of your server.js file so we can see if there's something else causing the problem?

Here is your code, pasted in from above, formatted:

app.use(
(req, res, next) => { 
  console.log('One'); 
  next(); 
}, 
(req, res, next) => { 
  console.log('One and a half'); 
  next(); 
}); 

app.use((req, res, next) => { 
  console.log('Two'); next(); 
});
