I'm supposed to create a DELETE route path which will delete "/signatures/:index"
As you can see with my code, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. But I've gone through a few of these challenges now and have had to skip them because I've always been getting an error when creating my routes. Thus, I think I'm doing it wrong. Can someone please shed some light on the subject for me??
<p><%= @signature %></p>
<form method="post" action="/signatures/<%= @index %>">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="delete">
<input type="submit" value="Delete This Signature"/>
</form>
require "sinatra"
def load_signature(index)
# Code omitted for brevity
end
def save_signature(signature)
# Code omitted for brevity
end
def update_signature(index, signature)
# Code omitted for brevity
end
# Deletes the line at the given index and re-saves the file.
def delete_signature(index)
lines = File.readlines("signatures.txt")
index = index.to_i
lines.delete_at(index)
File.open("signatures.txt", "w") do |file|
file.puts lines
end
end
get "/signatures/new" do
# Code omitted for brevity
end
get "/signatures/:index" do
@index = params[:index]
@signature = load_signature(@index)
erb 'show'.to_sym
end
delete "/signatures/:index" do
end

Treehouse TeacherIt looks like some changes we made on the code challenge runner broke this challenge. That should now be fixed, and your code should pass up through Task 4 as-is. Sorry for the trouble!
