after removing the node_modules, re-running the npm install and re-starting the app, now I get the number of documents error which I corrected by changing the expected document number to 44,999 now the test passes but I do not get the expected code back.

the great thing is that after reloading the database with the handouts for this lesson, the db_connection test passed, on to the projection test, and now I’m back to the GREAT, FAMILIAR Error,

this is why I stopped in the middle of the last class, don’t have the time to debug error that don’t have to do with Mongo, or the data.
But it’s problably me
anywho Thank you, Great Class
