9,636 PointsGetting error on rsepc test after adding expect(page) ....
This is the error that I get:
Finished in 0.85588 seconds
1 example, 1 failure
Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:4 # Creating todo lists redirects to the todo list index page on success
Randomized with seed 48935
This is my creat_spec.rb file
require 'spec_helper'
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")
end
end
I understand that this is the file / line referenced as the error... but it is what was put in by Jason in the course.... and his test returns no errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

9,636 PointsThere, I got it formatted. That was a typo on my part in the Markdown but now it's displaying.
The error is just saying
Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:4 # Creating todo lists redirects to the todo list index page on success
The rspec ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:4 < Right there it says the line of the error .... I believe.
As you can see... Everything after the '#' symbol is the part in quotes in the code. "
Line 4 is the line with the 'it' block.

9,636 PointsI'm sorry... I didn't notice this ...as I also have a few depreciation warnings (as this course is teaching 4.1 something and we're on 4.2 something...)
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"

17,188 PointsThanks Brandon. Looks like the test is failing because you're expecting "New Todo list", when in fact on your new todo list page you have "New Todo List". So just change
expect(page).to have_content("New Todo list")
to
expect(page).to have_content("New Todo List")
and it should pass.

9,636 PointsThat worked, but I'm a bit confused as to why. All other instances of the word "list" or "lists" are lower cased.... including the link on the page itself.
Strange.
Thank you very much for getting me unstuck.

17,188 PointsIt differs based on Rails version. Older versions had different capitalization on page titles.

17,188 PointsHi is that whole failure message? It's hard to tell what failed because it's not saying what failed. Usually it will say something like "Expected 'NewTodo List' to match 'New Todo list'" or something like that so you know which assertion failed. Also, I can't tell which line number it's referring to because the code is not formatted here. Can you point out which line it is?
