JavaScript Node.js Basics 2017 Building a Command Line Application Making a GET Request with https

*[SOLVED]* -- https.get not being accepted

I'm trying to do the challenge to use the https.get request. I've tested this code in the node.js console and it works fine ... but the challenge screen doesn't like it. I can't see the error because this window doesn't move. ... something 'unexpected ...'

const https = require('https'); https.get(https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json, (res) => { console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode); } );

app.js 
const https = require('https');
https.get(`https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json`, (res) =>
          {  console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode); }
         );




//https.get(`https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json`, response => { console.dir(response);  });
