Answer 1

Your fs.appendFile function should have a callback function as the third parameter.

Syntax:

fs.appendFile( path, data[, options], callback )

Your JS File should change like this:

console.log("Starting app.js");

const fs = require('fs');
const os = require('os');
const notes = require('../notes-node/notes.js');

var user = os.userInfo();

fs.appendFile("message.txt", `Hello ${user.username}! You are ${notes.age}`, (err) => { 
  if (err) { 
    console.log(err); 
  } 
}); 

console.log(user);
