If you get a request not defined error, make sure to try: `const request = require('supertest')` instead of `const supertest = require('supertest')`. Other than that this is great!

Sam, great video! Thank you for contributing to the community... I am having a problem trying to reproduce the core of what you explained. For some reason the test fails saying that the request received a 404 but it should be a 403 (returned correctly testing it via postman). I think it has something to do with the routes and passing the app object to the request function of supertest... Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

To use `import express from 'express'`, are you using the latest node version or by importing ESM ?

Why does not work only writing npm test for this. I spent about 2 hours to solve this problem but I don't know why do we use "test": "NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest" code
