rspec error

I'm getting the following error:

Failures:

  1) Creating todo lists Redirects to the todo list index page on success
     Failure/Error: visit "/todo_lists"
     SyntaxError:
       /home/phillycoder14/Applications/odot/app/models/todo_list.rb:3: syntax error, unexpected tINTEGER, expecting keyword_do or '{' or '('
           validates :title, length: { minimum 3 }
                                                ^
     # ./app/controllers/todo_lists_controller.rb:7:in `index'
     # ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:5:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Not sure what the error is here.

Looks like on line 3 of todo_list.rb you have a syntax error. You need a colon in your hash after minimum:

  validates :title, length: { minimum: 3 }

Thanks Geoff, knew it had to be something small.

This one I'm not sure about as well:

1) Creating todo lists displays an error when the todo list has no title
     Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content "Listing todo_lists"
       expected to find text "Listing todo_lists" in "New todo_list Title Description Back"
     # ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:21:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
