javascript - Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'total' of undefined -

i json response object do:

var json = json.parse(res.text);

i print json , json back. when retrieve value inside json.body.value.total gives error:

uncaught typeerror: cannot read property 'total' of undefined 

i have no idea why. pasted value receive var json , printed on console , able retrieve total. cannot through code. there json value total. unable recognize. on console, works not work in code.

i json response object retrieve using response.text. think needs change in parsable object returns undefined

it('returns http 200', function (done) {         chai         .request(baseurl)         .get('/api/')         .set('authorization', 'basic abc')         .query({val:'hey'})         .end(function(err, res) {             expect(res).to.have.status(200);              var json = res.text;              console.log('val: '+ json.parse(json.body));             var val = json.body.value.total; //undefined             expect(val.to.be.above(0)); //fails             done();         });     }); 

the rest api built returning response.body worked this:

var body = json.parse(json.body); var obj = json.stringify(body); var jsonobj = json.parse(obj); 

the above looks ridiculous thats worked. json -> object -> json. finding trouble figure out json object.

the console doing job not library using.

the complete code this:

it('returns http 200', function (done) {         chai         .request(baseurl)         .get('/api/')         .set('authorization', 'basic abc')         .query({val:'hey'})         .end(function(err, res) {             expect(res).to.have.status(200);              var json = res.text;              var body = json.parse(json.body);             var obj = json.stringify(body);             var jsonobj = json.parse(obj);             var val = jsonobj.body.value.total;             expect(val.to.be.above(0));             done();         });     });
