I have a problem with two errors that I cannot find an answer for. I need help with them. Please!

Here are the two error codes that show up after running bin/rake

Failures:

1) Adding todo items is successful with valid content Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("Milk") expected to find text "Milk" in "Edit" # ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:20:in block (3 levels) in <top (required)>' # ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:19:inblock (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

2) Viewing todo items displays item content when a todo list has items Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("Milk") expected to find text "Milk" in "Edit Edit" # ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:35:in block (3 levels) in <top (required)>' # ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:34:inblock (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

I have looked at the code in the videos over and over, printed out the code in hard copy and I cannot find out what is happening.

When the app is opened in Firefox it works up to a point and then I get an error message that tells me that the item could not be saved due to 0 errors. Below is the message that is on the server:

Started GET "/assets/application.js?body=1" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-12-30 13:56:28 -0800 [2014-12-30 13:56:28] WARN Could not determine content-length of response body. Set content-length of the response or set Response#chunked = true

Thank you for your help!

Put your code on GitHub and link it here. Can't say I've ever seen such behavior.

Maciej,

I appreciate your help with this matter. I have been stuck on this one for a long time. I don't know if it is me, my computer, Firefox, or just what it is. I have been going over this for a long time and can't find the problem, that is if one really exists.

I put the latest update out on github at: https://github.com/gh4Bob652/Todo_List/commit/151da488cb238e3625d29af9e0dba7aadb51d37f

Thanks again! Happy New Year!

Bob

OK, I caught your bugs. These are small things, easy to miss, that can give you headaches.

First thing is your todo_items index view in app/views/todo_items/index.html.erb. Your rspec error output suggested that the content of the todo item was not printed on the page although the object itself existed (there was a list item and Edit link for it). So you were missing a = symbol in line 6. It should look like that:

<%= todo_item.content %>

Second thing is the constant "0 errors" error when creating and editing items. When making a partial, you removed the if statement. Your app/views/todo_items/_form.html.erb should look like this:

<% if @todo_item.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
  <h2><%= pluralize(@todo_item.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this todo_item from being saved:</h2>

  <ul>
    <% @todo_item.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
    <li><%= message %></li>
    <% end %>
  </ul>
</div>
<% end %>

<%= form.label :content %>
<%= form.text_field :content %>

<%= form.submit "Save" %>

With these two changes your code seems to run fine and all the tests are passing. I hope this will get you back on track with Rails :)

Maciej,

Those changes made the necessary corrections to my code to make the fix. I could have looked for another month and not seen those somewhat minor changes that needed to be changed. Thank you again for your help. Have a happy and successful New Year!

I won't give up. I might get a little more frustrated but giving up is not an option for me. I'm a little too stubborn and probably a little bull-headed as well. I am enjoying myself and the opportunity to learn and receive help from people like you.
