Passing a simple string to my EJS template gives undefined in a working app

So I needed to add some more information for my users and as a test I'd try to pass a simple string to my view, you know just to get it going. My app worked before I added this change.

Before I sent this to my ejs template: 

   if (errorMessage) {
      res.render("index", {weather: null, error: errorMessage})
    } else {        

      res.render("index",{weather:weatherText, error:null});
    }

My weather is simply a string containing information but nothing but a string. I then tried to add this little string to my rendering: 

res.render("index",{weather:weatherText, error:null, testStr: "Hello"});

Calling it:

<%= testStr %>

but my testStr is undefined. Anyone has an idea what causes this, to me it's the exact same as the weather which works wonder.

Found out what caused it. Wasn't using nodemon, a server restart solved it.
