Why isn't my route working?

Question

The index route works when I go to /home/index

But it doesn't work why I type /home/test

What is wrong here, very confused!

import logging

from pylons import request, response, session, tmpl_context as c, url from pylons.controllers.util import abort, redirect

from helloworld.lib.base import BaseController, render

log = logging.getLogger(name)

class HelloController(BaseController):

def index(self):
    # Return a rendered template
    #return render('/hello.mako')
    # or, return a string
    return 'Hello World from index() action!'


def test(self):
return 'blah'

I get this error:

Double check your indentation. If def test(self) is on the same indentation level as the class, you won't get an indentation error.

This throws an indentation error:

class HelloController(BaseController):
    def index(self):
        return "hello from index()"

  def test(self):
        return "blah"

This doesn't:

class HelloController(BaseController):
    def index(self):
        return "hello from index()"

def test(self):
    return "blah"
