Has anyone else had an issue getting the put and delete challenge to pass? Is my answer incorrect or is there a bug?

In Building Web Apps with Sinatra, Challenge Task 4 of 6, it states:

Now we need a Sinatra route to accept the DELETE request. Set up a delete route that will match any path with a format like /signatures/0, /signatures/1, /signatures/5, etc. The numeric part of the path should be captured in a URL parameter named index.

My code:

require "sinatra"

def load_signature(index)
  # Code omitted for brevity
end

def save_signature(signature)
  # Code omitted for brevity
end

def update_signature(index, signature)
  # Code omitted for brevity
end

# Deletes the line at the given index and re-saves the file.
def delete_signature(index)
  lines = File.readlines("signatures.txt")
  index = index.to_i
  lines.delete_at(index)
  File.open("signatures.txt", "w") do |file|
    file.puts lines
  end
end

get "/signatures/new" do
  # Code omitted for brevity
end

get "/signatures/:index" do
  @index = params[:index]
  @signature = load_signature(@index)
  erb 'show'.to_sym
end

delete "/signatures/:index" do

end

There was an error with this challenge that we just fixed. Try again now. Your code should pass as-is.

In the future, if you suspect an issue with the code challenge itself, please let us know! You can click the "Support" link at the top of any page to contact Treehouse Support. They will notify the appropriate teacher.

Sorry for the trouble!
