I am writing the Odot app and when I run the test this is the error message I get. How can I resolve this issue?
Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:4 # Creating todo lists redirects to the todo list index page on success

8,992 PointsThe course is written using Test Driven Development.
You write a test.
The test fails.
You write just enough code to get the test to pass.
In this course, the test will fail several times before passing because there are different things to update,
Just follow along. If the instructor's test passed and yours didn't, go back and check every character of code. Things like having todo_items instead of todo_item or missing punctuation can cause a mismatch in results.
If the instructor's test failed and yours did too, congratulations! You're doing things right.

6,763 PointsThanks, I am going to review my code because the instructor's code is passing. So I will check if I have typos, or any other issue in my code.
