Expressjs req.params undefined but req.req.params defined

I'm working on a nodejs project express application. My route looks something like this:

router.get('/observe/:fileName', function(res, req){

    var reqFileName = req.params.fileName;

    console.log("GET /observe/" + reqFileName);
    res.end();

}

The problem is that if I do a GET request on localhost/observe/myFile the variable reqFileName is undefined because req.params.fileName is undefined. But inspecting(using node-inspector) the req I can see that the req has a property called req that has params. so req.req.params.fileName will give my parameter value. Is this normal ?

You've got res and req backwards. Try this:

router.get('/observe/:fileName', function(req, res){

    var reqFileName = req.params.fileName;

    console.log("GET /observe/" + reqFileName);
    res.end();

}
