2,554 PointsHELP!Keep getting this error message!
I follow the exact code from the video, but I keep getting an error message saying there's something wrong about the rb4.
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Editing todo lists" do
it "updates a todo list successfully with correct information" do
todo_list = TodoList.create(title: "Groceries", description: "Grocery list.")
visit "/todo_lists"
within "#{todo_list{todo_list.id}}" do
click_link"Edit"
end
fill_in "Title", with: "New title"
fill_in "Description", with: "New description"
click_button "Update Todo list"
todo_list.reload
expect(page).to have_content("Todo list was successfully updated.")
expect(todo_list.title).to eq("New title")
expect(todo_list.description).to eq("New description")
end
end

First make sure there's a space between click_link and "Edit" and run the test again. If the test still fails then look to the editing code and views in app/

30,773 PointsHow is your index.html.erb file formatted? What id does it output on elements on the page?
Your test may be failing because Jason told us to make an ID of "todo_list_#{domid}", but your test looks for #todo_list(id) (todo_list1, todo_list2, ...etc). Double-check your HTML markup to make sure it matches what you're looking for in your test. The specific cause of this failure, like expecting a different result, or not being able to find the CSS selector, should be above those lines you copied.
