Flask request challenge

I'm getting "didn't get the expected response" fail in the flask course requests challenge. I'm not sure what response it's expecting?

from flask import Flask
from flask import request  

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index(name="Treehouse"):
    return "Hello {}".format(name)
flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask
from flask import request  

app = Flask(__name__)

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

The code is not getting name from the query arguments. Use

name = request.args.get('name')
