Can't pass the third stage because I'm not clearly understanding how to set a cookie.
I had an issue with passing this question in the quiz too. In the video, the cookie is set with response.set_cookie('character', json.dumps(dict(request.form.items()))) but in the quiz, the solution was the simple response.set_cookie('name', "Treehouse")...
in that case, shouldn't my code below pass? What am I misunderstanding/ doing wrong?
from flask import Flask
from flask import make_response
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/save')
def save():
response = make_response(redirect(url_for('index')))
response.set_cookie('treehouse', "value")
return response

response = make_response(redirect(url_for('index')))
Part 2 is asking you to
Now add a variable named response and set it's value to make_response()
so you should simply just do this instead.
response = make_response()
That way your response will hold the correct value, and the response.set_cookie should work the way the challenge is expecting.

response = make_response()
return response

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 14,814 PointsThis challenge must be bugged or something. to complete task 2 out of 3 all you need is:
response = make_response(redirect(url_for('index')))When it clearly asks you to return the response, but when you type in the return response, all you get are IndentationErrors.
