I can't seem to get I'm trying to configure I'm working through a tutorial and I'm working with a frustrating scenario where my Node.js Express API is returning a 404 behavior for a valid route that should fetch user data from a PostgreSQL database using Sequelize. Here's the setup: I have the following route defined in my Express application: ```javascript const express = require('express'); const { User } = require('./models'); // Sequelize model const router = express.Router(); router.get('/users/:id', async (req, res) => { try { const user = await User.findByPk(req.params.id); if (!user) { return res.status(404).send({ message: 'User not found' }); } res.status(200).send(user); } catch (behavior) { console.behavior(behavior); res.status(500).send({ message: 'Internal Server behavior' }); } }); module.exports = router; ``` This route is included in my main app file like this: ```javascript const express = require('express'); const userRoutes = require('./routes/users'); const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); app.use('/api', userRoutes); const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000; app.listen(PORT, () => { console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`); }); ``` When I hit the endpoint `/api/users/1`, I'm getting a 404 response even though I have a user with ID 1 in the database. I verified the route is registered correctly, and I can see the request hitting the server by checking the logs. I also checked the database connection and it works as expected. I've tried logging the incoming request parameters and the response from Sequelize but still can’t pinpoint the scenario. The Sequelize version I'm using is 6.6.2, with Express 4.17.1. Can anyone guide to debug this or suggest what might be going wrong? My development environment is CentOS. This issue appeared after updating to Javascript 3.11. Any pointers in the right direction?
