I have found the fix for the deprecation errors that are included with this message, but I am stumped as to why I'm getting 2 failures here at this stage when Jason is getting 0 failures.
The following is My test;
joel@joel-U80A:~/workspace/odot$ bin/rspec spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb
FF
Failures:
1) Creating todo lists redirects to the todo list index page on success
Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list")
expected to find text "New todo_list" in "New Todo List Title Description Back"
# ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:7:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
2) Creating todo lists displays an error when the todo list has no title
Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list")
expected to find text "New todo_list" in "New Todo List Title Description Back"
# ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:22:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
Deprecation Warnings:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup#example is deprecated and will be removed
in RSpec 3. There are a few options for what you can use instead:
- rspec-core's DSL methods (`it`, `before`, `after`, `let`, `subject`, etc)
now yield the example as a block argument, and that is the recommended
way to access the current example from those contexts.
- The current example is now exposed via `RSpec.current_example`,
which is accessible from any context.
- If you can't update the code at this call site (e.g. because it is in
an extension gem), you can use this snippet to continue making this
method available in RSpec 2.99 and RSpec 3:
RSpec.configure do |c|
c.expose_current_running_example_as :example
end

If you need more of the backtrace for any of these deprecations to
identify where to make the necessary changes, you can configure
`config.raise_errors_for_deprecations!`, and it will turn the
deprecation warnings into errors, giving you the full backtrace.

expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list")

expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)

And this is todo_list.rb
class TodoList < ActiveRecord::Base

14,779 PointsNothing is working. I'm pretty stumped. Can I get a MOD or an INSTRUCTOR to help Me out with this please?
Charlie Jaime
17,351 PointsWell after reviewing your code, I think it might be a minor mistake to 2 places with this code: expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list") just remove the underscore in "New todo_list" and have "New Todo List" instead that should work.
if you like my answer vote me up or mark me for the best answer thank you and great coding!
Joel Smith
14,779 PointsThanks Charlie, but that wasn't the answer. I did that in all iterations of My tests, but it didn't work.

17,351 PointsBUMMER! here is my code when I did this part use to compare hope it helps.
describe "Creating todo lists" do it "redirects to the todo list index page on success" do visit "/todo_lists" click_link "New Todo list" expect(page).to have_content("New Todo List")
fill_in "Title", with: "My todo list"
fill_in "Description", with: "This is what I'm doing today."
click_button "Create Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("My todo list")
end
it "displays an error when the todo list has no title" do
expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)
visit "/todo_lists"
click_link "New Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("New Todo List")
fill_in "Title", with: ""
fill_in "Description", with: "This is what I'm doing today."
click_button "Create Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("error")
expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)
visit "/todo_lists"
expect(page).to_not have_content("This is what I'm doing today.")
end
end

Courses Plus Student 4,076 PointsI, too, noticed in the video that he wrote: expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list") - where I think the correct argument is expect(page).to have_content("New todo list") - changing this helped solve one RSPEC error for me.
Darren Emory
Courses Plus Student 4,076 PointsFound my bug.
I had expect(Todolist.count).to eq(0) when it should have been expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0) - need that capital 'L' in TodoList.
All clear now. No errors! Feels good, man.
Jennifer Poole
4,318 PointsI'm having similar problems. I'm getting a failure at this point, too -- have tried removing the underscore, putting in back in -- and am assuming it has something to do with the versions of Ruby, Rails, and rspec? I'm not computer-savvy enough to diagnose this, but am currently running Ruby 2.1.2, Rails 4.1.7, and rspec 2.99.2.
Any red flags there? Thank you.

14,779 PointsI also installed the latest versions of all of the applications. If downgrading is the solution. perhaps upgrading the course is the TRUE answer.
