Message doesn't show up in the browser.

Hi!

The "This message made it!" doesn't appear in my browser. It does in the terminal and no errors found, but a DepreciationWarning OutgooingMessage.prototype._headers is deprecated.

I checked by copying both the 02_middle_basics_final and the 03_using_next_and_errors to see if it somehow must be my code.

I had a similar experience with the Express course and for a few lessons (I believe the two last from the 5th part and the 6th part up to the very last or so), the downloadable code did not do the trick.

It is really annoying when your code matches EXACTLY what's on screen, you go over it few times, give up, verify with the downloadable files and see it doesn't work either.

Can someone from the team check it out?

I just noticed the same thing with the beginning of the video, I get: (node:35616) [DEP0066] DeprecationWarning: OutgoingMessage.prototype._headers is deprecated in the terminal along with the code that should be logged. It doesn't seem like this message has anything to do with how the code runs and where the messages show up, though.

It's a bit confusing - it seems that Joel is actually seeing the messages in his browser, but he's actually seeing them in his terminal. In the beginning this isn't apparent, but towards the end it is.

I solved the deprecation problem by uninstalling whichever version of Express I had installed, by using the terminal console in the project directory; npm uninstall express, and reinstalling it, with the newest package; npm install express@latest

app.js

console.log("Hello World")

Running this with Node.js, you will see it in the terminal.

script.js

console.log("Hello World")

In your HTML file <script src="script.js"></script>

You will see this in your browser console.
