I've been over my code about 20 times and I cannot locate the source of the error. I would appreciate any input!
password_resets_controller_spec.rb
it "sets the flash[:success] message" do
patch :update, id: user.password_reset_token, user: { password: "newpass", password_confirmation: "newpass" }
expect(flash[:success]).to match(/Password updated/)
end
passwords_reset_controller.rb
def update
@user = User.find_by(password_reset_token: params[:id])
if @user && @user.update_attributes(user_params)
@user.update_attribute(:password_reset_token, nil)
session[:user_id] = @user.id
redirect_to todo_lists_path, success: "Password updated."
else
flash.now[:notice] = "Password reset token not found."
render action: 'edit'
end
end
Am I blind or any ideas?

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey David Moore you can fix this in the application_controller.rb
file by adding the following:
add_flash_types :success
That will let you add a success:
flash type when doing a redirect.

52,045 PointsIs your rails version before 4.0? I either really don't understand. I thought /expression/
case-sensitive by default and okay to be partly matching... (and /expression/i
makes it case-insensitive)
Edit: I found some links to look up. document 3.2 and document 4.1 for redirect_to. And this post on coderwall -- I don't know exactly when but guess this change happened recently

13,916 PointsThanks for the links! Yep, it is just really strange. I'm on rails 4.1.1 so it should be working just fine. I really can't figure it so I'm calling it a ghost in the system. I was able to get the same functionality with a little more code by using the standard flash[:success] but still, ya know?

But still would like to understand why the original code is not working.
