Advanced Social Features in Ruby on Rails > Uploading Files > Building Associations Code Challenge

Hi everyone,

I am doing the "Building Associations" code challenge in "Advanced Social Features in Ruby on Rails" and ran into a problem.

The question is "Initialize the document association on the status instance variable."

Here is the code:

class StatusesController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @status = Status.new
    # Write your code here
  end
end

I have no idea what to do. I have tried multiple things. Based on what I know of on past knowledge, I think that I should have something like this:

@status.something.and_possibly_something_else
