Node.js writing undefined on the console

Hi, I have complete the app and it runs fine but I'm just wondering why it fires a series of undefined on the console every time I make a new search,

treehouse:~/workspace$ node app                                                                   
Server running at port 3000                                                                       
undefined                                                                                         
undefined                                                                                         
undefined                                                                                         
undefined                                                                                         
undefined                                                                                         
undefined

Just in case anyone is getting this error, too: the reason you're getting a bunch of "undefined"s is that in your renderer.js file, in your view function, you have a console.dir statement.

So every time the renderer is trying to use the view function, it calls console.dir(), which is undefined. If you delete that one line of code from your renderer.js file, you will stop seeing it.
