Python Flask Basics Templates and Static Files Template Inheritance

Flask - Template and Static File Part 6 of 6 Challenge

For the Template and Static File challenge everything works great up until the {{ super() }} portion of the challenge and then it reverts back to failing Part 4 of the check.

My code is attached for layout.html and index.html.

I'm assuming its just a syntax error but the error returned is vague and I can't decipher it :(

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

PS. I did create all the files on my computer and they work fine and appear as expected but it still fails the challenge :(

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')
templates/index.html 
{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block title %} 
    {{ super() }} Homepage 
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
    <h1>Smells Like Bakin'!</h1>
    <p>Welcome to my bakery web site!</p>
{% endblock %}
templates/layout.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>
    {% block title %}
        Smells Like Bakin'
     {% endblock %}
  </title>
</head>
<body>
  {% block content %}
  {% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

Sorry, I missed a possibility in the validation. It's been updated and your code should pass now.

That was trickier than I thought (also misread what your code was creating). You should be passing now. Thanks for finding that!

Thanks! It passes now.

Not sure how the forum protocol works, but would it be okay to edit my original post to remove the code. Otherwise the full answer is there? Not sure if it matters or not.
