The test ... node example_profile.js ... is not working. I get this error ...

Sharing your code is more important that showing the errors. We can recreate the errors using it, but also find the cause of the issue.

Here's a video about how to make a snapshot of your workspace and you can then post the link to it here.

Hi Steven, Thanks for answering. The code is in the lesson (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-dynamic-site-with-nodejs/preparing-planning). And also here it is:

Profile.js ...

var EventEmitter = require("events").EventEmitter;
var https = require("https");
var http = require("http");
var util = require("util");
function Profile(username) {
    EventEmitter.call(this);
    var profileEmitter = this;
    //Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
    var request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response) {
        var body = "";
        if (response.statusCode !== 200) {
            request.abort();
            //Status Code Error
            profileEmitter.emit("error", new Error("There was an error getting the profile for " + username + ". (" + http.STATUS_CODES[response.statusCode] + ")"));
        }
        //Read the data
        response.on('data', function (chunk) {
            body += chunk;
            profileEmitter.emit("data", chunk);
        });
        response.on('end', function () {
            if(response.statusCode === 200) {
                try {
                    //Parse the data
                    var profile = JSON.parse(body);
                    profileEmitter.emit("end", profile);
                } catch (error) {
                    profileEmitter.emit("error", error);
                }
            }
        }).on("error", function(error){
            profileEmitter.emit("error", error);
        });
    });
}
util.inherits( Profile, EventEmitter );
module.exports = Profile;

And this is the file that is run (example_profile.js)

var Profile = require("./profile.js");
var studentProfile = new Profile("profiles/petermingione");
studentProfile.on("end", console.dir);
studentProfile.on("error", console.error);

It is run in the console ...

node example_profile.js

When I run it in work spaces it works fine. When I run it on my local machine it get the error that I previously described. Thanks for the help

Gemini says:

Connection Attempt Failure: The [errors] array shows that the process failed to connect to two specific IP addresses on port 443 (standard HTTPS port).

When I run this code in a workspace made from the course, I don't get any error. I see your profile data as a JSON string.

That Gemini result might be telling us that the problem is caused by your local environment not having a working internet connection.

Peter Mingione — I guess we could call an over-eager firewall a "not working internet connection". :wink:

Hope I helped. You can mark a question solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy coding!

Hi Steven, Thanks for the reply. I have discovered the problem. It was my firewall. Now that I have turned it off the app works. Thanks again.
