The sound on the original video wasn't good, so I had to re-upload it. Re smash the like button for me pls * Updates TypeError: flash is not a function - please use another flash package like "connect-flash".

I appreciate you saying that, Emmanuel. I recently did one that uses Google Authentication. Now this video and the other one are very similar in functionality.

Unfortunately that package has been updated and that's why is giving us an error. Use connect-flash and then just replace consumeFlash with const messages = await req.flash("info"); There is a link in the description that shows the steps to get it to work

It's the same code from the video😅....... When I click on edit customer icon and fill new details and then click on update customer, the web page keeps on buffering but when I click on node js icon to go back to homepage and see that the chosen user has been updated with new details.

The error means that it's failing to find the file/directory. Simply put it could be a typo. Make sure that you have a folder called views and inside that folder you have layouts and then you have main.ejs. So views -> layouts -> main.ejs. That should solve your problem

It does sound like a firewall issue. Double check to see if you have the same port number open as the one your NodeJs application runs on.
