SQL scripts mentioned in this deployment guide are missing from the repo.

I put the Contest listing API code into production.

http://api.topcoder.com/v2/develop/challenges

That call is returning only studio contests. In fact it should return only software contests, not anything from studio.

Test files should follow a consistent naming convention of "test..js"

So for example, "test.contests.js" instead of "contest_retrieval.js"

Not sure where to post this.

Long path issue has been fix in node-email-templates.
Could you just rebuild node-email-templates and commit it?

All of contest retrieval is public. We don't want or need the secured actions and routes. They, and their related tests, need to be removed.

add tests for testing of the caching secured APIs

Lots of the helper functions should be using a proven library like underscore, rather than recreating the wheel.

It's advisable and desirable for all code to pass jslint for maintainability purposes.

Hello there!

It appears that the TopCoder API is broken. I'm testing the Auth endpoint http://api.topcoder.com/v2/auth?username=<username>&password=<password> and I'm getting the following error:

{
    "error": {
        "name": "Internal Server Error",
        "value": 500,
        "description": "Something is broken. Please contact support.",
        "details": "the connection was disabled"
    },
    "serverInformation": {
        "serverName": "TopCoder API",
        "apiVersion": "0.0.1",
        "requestDuration": 446,
        "currentTime": 1603747796879
    },
    "requesterInformation": {
        "id": "3aba34778228a6aa457363e8357182d1b9533fbe-xyZ36GJdDc3KqXYJ",
        "remoteIP": "<IP_ADDRESS>",
        "receivedParams": {
            "username": "<username>",
            "password": "<password>",
            "apiVersion": "v2",
            "action": "generateJwt"
        }
    }
}

Thank you in advance for the help.

The test files all hard code the API endpoint to test. Like all parameters these should be set via environment variables, and should default to local host if the env variable is absent.
