Odd Failure/Error

It doesn't match the video's failure where it expected to find text "There was a problem adding that todo list item." in "Added todo list item.".. Instead I receive the error below. How would I go along fixing it?

Adding todo items is successful with valid content displays an error with no content (FAILED - 1)

Failures:

1) Adding todo items displays an error with no content Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("There was a problem adding that todo list item.") expected to find text "There was a problem adding that todo list item." in "There was a problem addding that todo list item." # ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:30:in block (3 levels) in <top (required)>' # ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:29:inblock (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Look closely at the error, what was expected and what it actually found on the page:

"There was a problem adding that todo list item."

"There was a problem addding that todo list item."
