Add item to list - why will this not work?

"bummer! try again" . I can't see the error here. Can someone help? The code is formatted exactly like in the video

todo_list.rb 
class TodoList
  attr_reader :name, :todo_items

  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
    @todo_items = []
  end

  def add_item(name)
  todo_items.push(Todoitem.new(name))
  end

end

Shouldn't "(Todoitem.new(name))" be "(TodoList.new(name))"?

Alternatively,

def add_item(name) @todo_items.push(name: name) end

Sorry for the poor markdown on this one. I wrote on a phone while standing on a bus.
