I'm getting "Bummer: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined".

I changed request and response to req and res, and also adjusting the response.send to res.send. I keep getting some error about toString, I don't think the error is on my end.

app.js 
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('I Love Treehouse!');
});

app.listen(3000);

I think it was a bug. Please refresh your page and try again. Your code is good!
