Hello,
I set up a test environment on a new strapi app (Typescript) following the example in the docs - Testing | Strapi Documentation. When I run this test:

it("should return hello world", async () => {
  await request(strapi.server.httpServer)
    .get("/api/hello")
    .expect(200) // Expect response http code 200
    .then((data) => {
      expect(data.text).toBe("Hello World!"); // expect the response text
    });
});

I get this error:

expected 200 "OK", got 404 "Not Found"

When I replace strapi.server.httpServer with say “http://127.0.0.1:1337/”- the url of a running strapi app, the test runs successfully.

Please what do I need to do to fix this?

Check your setup script has the line below from Testing | Strapi 5 Documentation

await instance.server.mount();
