Add a new route to hello() that expects a name argument. The view will need to accept a name argument, too.

ROBERT BUTLER, I’ve reformatted your code to indent the return statement. The > should be replaced with spaces.

Hey ROBERT BUTLER, you’re very close.

Two items to fix:

  • the return statement needs to be indented to be inside the function. (Maybe this was just a cut and paste issue)
  • when adding the name parameter to the function, a default value needs to be defined so that in the “/“ route case, name will be defined. Try using name=“”
  • be sure to use the exact punctuation stated in the challenge. It might be nothing or a ending period or exclamation point.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

I may still be doing something wrong with Chris. I keep getting the Bummer: IndentationError: @app.route('/') notification.
