Task 2 of 3: "Update the response from hello() to say "Hello {name}", replacing {name} with the passed-in name."
My code:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/<name>')
def hello(name="Wut"):
return 'Hello {}'.format('name')
gives Bummer! Did you change the view's response?
what am I doing wrong

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 PointsIn the View Args Through URL Challenge, the first challange asks:
Add a new route to hello() that expects a name argument. The view will need to accept a name argument, too.
Your code is missing this route from part 1. Updating your code:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(name)
@app.route('/')
@app.route('/<name>') # <-- new route
def hello(name="Wut"):
return 'Hello {}'.format('name')
Challenge Task 2
Update the response from hello() to say "Hello {name}", replacing {name} with the passed-in name.
Your code is very close. The error is in the format. You are formatting a fixed string "name" instead of the passed in name. Remove the quote around name in the format():
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(name)
@app.route('/')
@app.route('/<name>') # <-- new route
def hello(name="Wut"):
return 'Hello {}'.format(name) # <-- removed quotes
