2,742 Pointsversion problem?
I am using rails 4.0.0 and I believe the tutorial is using earlier version. Although I followed step by step I can't get lot of the things to work. Like the sign up page I get different error message than the tutorial get. Should I switch to the same Rails version as the tutorial is using to to follow the tutorial? many thanks,

36,441 PointsIf you want to follow the course step by step, you have to use the same versions of gems and Bootstrap OR use Treehouse's Virtual Machine dedicated for this course (it has proper versions of gems at least, I think). You may try to read up on Strong Parameters and try to translate things from Rails 3 to Rails 4 (and between other gems and their versions), but that might be frustrating.

2,742 PointsI started to following the ODOT todo application, I got pretty far until the validation part. I never written test before but I followed, at least learned what its all about. Now my application has layers and layers of bugs, I am getting very frustrated. Should I stick to it and try to fix the bugs or start something else all over again, or even start another ODOT fresh? help :(

36,441 PointsThat depends. Are your failing tests mostly from automatically generated controllers? This could simply be the problem with newest version of RSpec and these tests are not so important (they got generated with scaffold and controller generators). With some tweaking you can get over this, don't worry :). For now, just make sure that the tests you are writing yourself (following Jason) are passing.
