# Test backend is running
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# Test user login
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"test@example.com","password":"password123"}'

Frontend Testing

cd Frontend
npm run lint

# Build production bundle
npm run build

# Preview production build
npm run preview

🐛 Troubleshooting

Backend Won't Start

Error: MongoDB connection failed

✓ Check internet connection
✓ Verify MongoDB Atlas credentials
✓ Add your IP to MongoDB IP whitelist (0.0.0.0/0)
✓ Ensure cluster is not paused

Error: Port 8000 already in use

# Find and kill process on port 8000
lsof -ti:8000 | xargs kill -9

Frontend Build Fails

Error: Module not found

# Clear node_modules and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

API Requests Failing

✓ Check CORS configuration in Backend/Server.js
✓ Verify backend URL in Frontend/src/config/api.js
✓ Check JWT token in localStorage
✓ Verify environment variables are set

Login Issues

✓ Clear localStorage: localStorage.clear()
✓ Check browser console for errors (F12)
✓ Verify email/password in database
✓ Check JWT_SECRET matches between backend and tokens
