JavaScript Node.js Basics (2014) Building a Command Line Application Handling Parsing and Status Code Errors

Still showing up an error message

When the status code is 200 it's still showing up an error message like this "There was an error getting the profile for developersua. (OK)". Somehow it just skip the printMessage in the if block. Any ideas?

Here is my code

// Problem: We need a simple way to look at user's badge count and JavaScript points
// Solution: Use Node.js to connect to Treehouse's API to get profile information to print out
var https = require('https');
var http = require('http');
var username = 'developersua';

// Print out message
function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points)
{
  var message = username + ' has ' + badgeCount + ' total badge(s) and ' + points + ' points in JavaScript';
  console.log(message);
}

// Print out error messages
function printError(error)
{
  console.error(error.message);
}

// Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
var request = https.get('https://teamtreehouse.com/' + username + '.json', function(response)
{
  var body = '';
  // Read the data
  response.on('data', function(chunk)
  {
    body += chunk;
  });
  response.on('end', function()
  {
    if(response.statuCode === 200)
    {
      try
      {
        // Parse the data
        var profile = JSON.parse(body);
        // Print the data
        printMessage(username, profile.badges.length, profile.points.JavaScript);
      }
      catch(error)
      {
        // Parse Error
        printError(error);
      }
    }
    else
    {
      // Status Code Error
      printError({message: 'There was an error getting the profile for ' + username + '. (' + http.STATUS_CODES[response.statusCode] + ')'});
    }
  });
});

// Connection Error
request.on('error', printError);

Thanks!

if(response.statuCode === 200) its if(response.statusCode === 200)
