2,500 PointsNoMethodError when generating scaffold with Rails 4.1.4.
I was following 'Generate a Scaffold' under 'Build a Todo List Application with Rails' and I have Ruby 2.1.2. and Rails 4.1.4. installed on my Mac. I have followed every step as shown in the video until typing 'bin/rails generate scaffold todo_list title:string description:text' in the console. When I do so I get the following error after 'spec/controllers/todos_controller_spec.rb' is created;
(erb):82:in template': undefined methodupdate_attributes' for #<Rails::Generators::ActiveModel:0x007fe79e5bc038> (NoMethodError)
I believe this is something to do with earlier version of Ruby and Rails used for this tutorial. Could someone please help me solve this issue? Many thanks.

Courses Plus Student 11,383 PointsI'm not sure if this matters as much but in the video it shows that name of the file should be
'spec/controllers/todo_lists_controller_spec.rb' but you have 'spec/controllers/todos_controller_spec.rb', which means you are missing the word lists in the file name. Good luck!
