Ruby Collections code challenge 1 of 1 adding grocery_item to grocery_list "item" array answer: grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("items") However, it will fail no matter what alterations/refreshes I attempt. I've read that this has been brought to attention previously; should I skip this or is there a way to override the error to pass? Would love some help on this. Thank you
grocery_list = { 'title' => 'Grocery List', 'items' => [] }
grocery_item = { 'title' => 'Bread', 'quantity' => 1 }
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("items")

The problem here is that in your solution grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("items"), the assignment operator = was used on grocery_list hash, doing so will assign an entirely new value to it, which isn't what the challenge is asking for.
The code challenge essentially wants you to retrieve the Array value associated with the items key from the grocery_list, then append grocery_item hash to the end of the Array.
One way to accomplish that is by using the push method in the Array class.
grocery_list['items'].push(grocery_item)
The use of push method was covered in this lecture.
