Changing request to req and response to res but doesn't work

Hi,

I'm studying the Express Basic course and I'm on the challenge 'Setting up a Basic Express App'. The task is: 'Change the parameter names for the request and response objects to req and res.' I change the code as instructed but it doesn't work. It says: 'Bummer: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined'. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

This is the code before:

const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.get('/', (request, response) => {
  response.send("I Love Treehouse!");
});

app.listen(3000);

This is my code after I made the modifications:

app.js 
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send("I Love Treehouse!");
});

app.listen(3000);

Thank you. The same code works now. Indeed, it was a site error.
