What am I doing wrong? I am unable to run the project. I'm not sure what broke.

After entering:

bin/rspec --format=documentation spec/features/todo_items/edit_spec.rb

I see the following in terminal:

treehouse:~/projects/odot (master *) $ bin/rspec --format=documentation spec/features/todo_items/edit_spec.rb
/home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:1065:in `load': /home/treehouse/projects/odot/spec/features/todo_items/edit_spec.rb:26: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input (SyntaxError)

Here's my code:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Editing todo items" do
  let!(:todo_list) { TodoList.create(title: "Grocery list", description: "Groceries") }
  let!(:todo_item) { todo_list.todo_items.create(content: "Milk") }

  def visit_todo_list(list)
    visit "/todo_lists"
    within "#todo_list_#{list.id}" do
      click_link "List Items"
    end
  end

  it "is successful with valid content" do
    visit_todo_list(todo_list)
    within("#todo_items _#{todo_item.id}")
        click_link "Edit"
    end
    fill_in "Content", with: "Lots of Milk"
    click_button "Save"
    expect(page).to have_content("Saved todo list item.")
    todo_item.reload
    expect(todo_item.title).to eq("Lots of Milk")
  end

end

This:

    within("#todo_items _#{todo_item.id}")
        click_link "Edit"
    end

I think you need to add a do at the end of within line. Just like a few lines above in within "#todo_list_#{list.id}" do
