Hi Vineet

You have not passed the order_id parameter to the url cancel_order. See below

{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block content %}
<h1>Your lunch for today</h1>

<h2>{{order.date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')}}</h2>
<p>{{order.order}}</p>
<a href="{{ url_for('cancel_order',order_id=order.id) }}">cancel_order</a>
<!-- button to the route for cancel_order with order_id=order.id -->
{% endblock %}

Andreas cormack Can you explain url_for('cancel_order',order_id=order.id) ?
