Adding Validations to Todo Items

at about 5 min into the lesson(todo list application) I encounter the error

Failures:

"1) todo_lists/index renders a list of todo_lists
Failure/Error: assert_select "tr>td", :text => "Title".to_s, :count => 2
MiniTest::Assertion:
Expected exactly 2 elements matching "tr > td", found 1..
<1> expected but was
<2>.
# ./spec/views/todo_lists/index.html.erb_spec.rb:20:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>' 

when running the bin/rake test, Jason didn't encounter this error

I took a wild guess and commented out both my line 20 and 21 in the file with the error. This "seems" to have solved it(because all 50 tests pass) but I might have broken something by commenting them out? The entire file with the error:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "todo_lists/index" do
before(:each) do
assign(:todo_lists, [
stub_model(TodoList,
:title => "Title",
:description => "MyText"
),
stub_model(TodoList,
:title => "Title",
:description => "MyText"
)
])
end

it "renders a list of todo_lists" do
render
# Run the generator again with the --webrat flag if you want to use webrat matchers
##HERE
# assert_select "tr>td", :text => "Title".to_s, :count => 2
# assert_select "tr>td", :text => "MyText".to_s, :count => 2
##ABOVE
end
end
