1) Creating todo lists redirects to the todo list index page on success Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list") expected to find text "New todo_list" in "New Todo List Title Description Back" # ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:8:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

2) Creating todo lists displays an error when the todo list has no title Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list") expected to find text "New todo_list" in "New Todo List Title Description Back" # ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:22:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

3) Creating todo lists displays an error when the todo list has no title less than 3 characters Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list") expected to find text "New todo_list" in "New Todo List Title Description Back" # ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:40:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

my code: 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: ""
fill_in "Description", with: "This is what I'm doing today."

expect(page).to have_content("error") 
expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)

visit"/todo_lists"
expect(page).to have_content("This is what I'm doing today.") 

end

it "displays an error when the todo list has no title less than 3 characters" 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: "Hi"
fill_in "Description", with: "This is what I'm doing today."
click_button "Create Todo list"

expect(page).to have_content("error") 
expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)

visit"/todo_lists"
expect(page).to have_content("This is what I'm doing today.") 

end

end

This line is looking for text on the web page. So anywhere you have this

expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list")

it needs to be this

expect(page).to have_content("New Todo List")
