2,491 PointsNo verbose error reporting
I noticed in this video, the teacher gets far more verbose error reporting from rspec, suggesting exactly what went wrong in the test.
I get very little output other than, for example,...
Finished in 0.44509 seconds 1 example, 1 failure
Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:5 # Viewing todo items displays no items when a todo list is empty
Any suggestions as to how I might get improved output?

I'm not a Ruby or rspec wizard, but if memory serves you can use --format documentation
to adjust the output. rspec --help
would be a great place to look for additional options.

`? The rest of the error messages, more detailed, should be ABOVE what you quoted here (among some deprecation warnings). You need to scroll the console up a bit.
