8,716 PointsProblem adding todo_item
Hi All,
I'm struggling to get past the first 3min of the video :(
I keep getting this issue when executing my code in the terminal:
1) Viewing 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 adding that todo list item"
# ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:32:in block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
# ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:31:in
block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
Finished in 0.50786 seconds
2 examples, 1 failure
Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:26 # Viewing todo items displays an error with no content
Randomized with seed 48185
Also, I've created the form_for todo item as per the video, please see below:
<%= form_for [@todo_list, @todo_item] do |form| %> <% 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 |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= form.label :content %> <%= form.text_field :content%>
<%= form.submit "Save" %> <% end %>
Can't seem to see where i've gone wrong. Thanks for the help in advance.
If you need anything else, please let me know.

"There was a problem adding that todo list item."
Got:
"There was a problem adding that todo list item"
The difference is very tiny, but it changes a lot. The test expects every single character to be there.
