Help with "Adopt a pet" off-platform

I just ended the “Adopt a Pet” Project and it went fine… at least on Codecademy platform.

I usually do the projects parallel in VSCode but this time the last two steps don’t work out and I don’t know where the mistake is.

Here’s my code:

from flask import Flask
from helper import pets

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def index():
    return """
        <h1>Adopt a Pet!</h1>
        <p>Browse through the links below to find your new furry friend:</p>
        <ul>
        <li><a href="/animals/dogs">Dogs</a></li>
        <li><a href="/animals/cats">Cats</a></li>
        <li><a href="/animals/rabbits">Rabbits</a></li>
        </ul>
        """

@app.route("/animals/<pet_type>")
def animals(pet_type):
    html = f"<h1>List of {pet_type}</h1>"
    html += "<ul>"
    for index, i in enumerate(pets[pet_type]):
        html += f"<li><a href='/animals/{pet_type}/{index}'>{i['name']}</a></li>"  
    html += "</ul>"
    return html

@app.route("/animals/<pet_type>/<int:pet_id>")  # The Error occurs with this route!
def pet(pet_type, pet_id):
    pet = pets[pet_type][pet_id]
    return f"<h1>{pet['name']}</h1>"
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

as I said, in codecademy it works and I can call the individual sites for the pets like “…localhost/animals/dogs/0” for Spot
But when I run this code in my Terminal and go to my localhost it always gives me a 404 Not Found when I try to enter a pet’s site.
“…/animals/dogs” still works but “…/animals/dogs/0” (or any other animal and id) gives the 404 Error.

I did not copy the code the first time, instead I wrote it new. After the issue I copied the code 1:1 from codecademy and it just still doesn’t work

Does anyone has an idea what I’m missing here?

Thanks

Ok… I don’t know what was the problem before… but after a reboot the route suddenly works
