Not sure what is wrong with my code here. It seems to be fine. But I don't know what is not passing.

I have followed the tutorial - and it is still not passing.

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/<name>')
def hello(name="Treehouse"):
     return 'Hello {}'.format(name)

I get it now. I should have ADDED the route in the first question - instead of edited the above route:

Like so:

@app.route('/')
@app.route('/<name>')

I should have read the directions more closely.
