8,749 Pointsundefined local variable or method `todo_item'?
I'm having difficulty finding where my code creates this error exactly. According to my output the trace goes back to todo_items_controller.rb and the create_spec.rb files
Failure/Error: click_button "Save"
NameError:
undefined local variable or method todo_item' for #<TodoItemsController:0xbac7db38>
# ./app/controllers/todo_items_controller.rb:13:in
create'
# ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:17:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
But I've watched the video multiple times and can't find a discrepancy in my code in my file.
class TodoItemsController < ApplicationController
def index
@todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id])
end
def new
@todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id])
@todo_item = @todo_list.todo_items.new
end
def create
@todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id])
@todo_item = @todo_list.todo_items.new(todo_item.params)
if @todo_item.save
flash[:success] = "Added todo list item."
redirect_to todo_list_todo_items_path
else
flash[:error] = "There was a problem adding that todo list item."
render action: :new
end
end
private def todo_item_params params[:todo_item].permit(:content) end end

8,749 PointsOk I found it, it turns out I put a period where it shouldn't be :/
This: @todo_list.todo_items.new(todo_item.params)
Should be: @todo_list.todo_items.new(todo_item_params)
I changed todo_item.params to todo_item_params and it's now working.
