It is asking that "Make sure to print out request.form inside of the form function before the return". But the request.form is inside of the form function, could somebody help me out with this ?
{% extends 'layout.html' %}
{% block content %}
<form action="">
<input type="text" name="name" id="firstName" placeholder="First Name">
<label for="firstName">What is your first name?</label>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
{% endblock %}
from flask import Flask, url_for, render_template, request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/form', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def form():
if request.form == 'POST':
print(request.form)
return render_template('form.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)

Treehouse TeacherHey Jorge Grajeda !
This isn't currently working because the Challenge is being specific and picky. It didn't ask for you to create that conditional checking if the request.form exists, so removing that and left-indenting your print() statement solves this issue.
However, I very much like that you added that conditional personally. You have the right mental approach here 
from flask import Flask, url_for, render_template, request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/form', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def form():
print(request.form)
return render_template('form.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)
