I set input type to "hidden" name to "_method" and value to "delete," am I missing something?
<p><%= @signature %></p>
<form method="post" action="/signatures/<%=@index%>"
<input type="submit" value="Delete This Signature"/>
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="delete"/>
</form>
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 ROUTE GOES HERE

Treehouse TeacherLooks like your opening <form
tag is missing the closing >
. I added that and was immediately able to pass Task 3 with no other changes to your code.
