Your starter code already declares BASE_URL — call the API relative to it.

Objective

Build a small, independent suite covering users, auth and errors that a CI job can run and report on.

Your task

  1. 1Test 1: GET BASE_URL + "/users/1" → 200 and name "Ada Lovelace".
  2. 2Test 2: POST BASE_URL + "/auth/token" with the admin fixture → 200, then GET BASE_URL + "/auth/me" → 200.
  3. 3Test 3: GET BASE_URL + "/users/9999" → 404 USER_NOT_FOUND.
  4. 4Give each test a descriptive name so reports read well; read BASE_URL from the environment when set.

Acceptance criteria

  • GET /users/1 returns 200
  • GET /auth/me returns 200
  • GET /users/{id} returns 404
  • At least 4 assertions pass
