JavaScript Node.js Basics 2017 Building a Command Line Application Getting the Response Body

Write a callback for the end of a request stream in Node.js

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The focus here is on my response.on('end', end.....) callback.

I feel like what I've written is correct, but Treehouse may be looking for a something different. (Even though this is how it was done in the video from what I can remember.)

app.js
const https = require("https");
const request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => {
    let responseBody = "";

    response.on("data", dataChunk => {
      responseBody += dataChunk;

    });

    response.on("end", end => {
        console.log(responseBody);
    });

});

request.on("error", error => {
    console.error(error.message);
});

Looks like you modified the "end" response by changing the anonymous function. Should look like below:

const https = require("https");
const request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => {
    let responseBody = "";

    response.on("data", dataChunk => {
      responseBody += dataChunk;
    });

    response.on("end", () => {
        console.log(responseBody);
    });

});

request.on("error", error => {
    console.error(error.message);
});
