19,925 PointsSyntax Error at the last part.
Hi, I've been following along ok, until now. At the last hurdle, my code fails with the following syntax error:
" syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting ')' (SyntaxError) expect('TodoList.count').to eq(0) ^ "
Any ideas? Thanks,

expect(page.to have_content("error")
needs to be
expect(page).to have_content("error")
You just missed a bracket, I think.
Let me know how you get on.
Steve.

Post the whole error and the code in the file it points to. There's just a bracket, or something missing ...

require 'spec_helper'
describe "Creating todo lists" do
it "redirects to the todo list index page on success" do
visit "/todo_lists"
click_link "New Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("New Todo List")
fill_in "Title", with: "My todo list"
fill_in "Description", with: "This is what I'm doing today."
click_button "Create Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("My todo list")
end
it "displays an error when the todo list has no title" do
expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)
visit "/todo_lists"
click_link "New Todo list"
expect(page).to have_content("New Todo List")
fill_in "Title", with: "My todo list"
fill_in "Description", with: "This is what I'm doing today."
click_button "Create Todo list"
expect(page.to have_content("error") ## missing bracket here!
expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)
visit "/todo_lists"
expect(page).to_not have_content("This is what I'm doing today.")
end
end
Thanks
