  }

  @log({ traceError: true })
  @route('POST test-route', { priority: 1 })
  testRoute({ body }) {
    return { text: 'Hi!', ...body() }
  }

  @log({ traceError: true })
  @route('GET test-route-halt', { priority: 1 })
  testHaltRoute() {
    return 'Hello!'
  }

  @log({ trace: true })
  @policy({ methods: ['post'], paths: '/routes/test-route', action: 'Script', trace: true, weight: 1 })
  testRoutePolicy({ body }) {
    if (body('end')) {
      return 'ended!'

  @log({ trace: true })
  @policy({ methods: ['get'], paths: '/routes/test-route-halt', priority: 1 })
  routeHaltPolicy({ halt }) {

  }

  @log({ trace: true })
  @policy({ methods: ['get'], paths: '/routes/test-route-halt' })

    res.setStatusCode(404)
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.end(JSON.stringify(new RangeError('no way, jesus maria!').toJSON()))

  @route('GET get-all-accounts')
  getAllAccounts({ req, res, body, runtime }) {
