ArgumentError in UserFriendshipsController#create

Not sure what I did wrong below is the error message I get:

wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) Rails.root: /Users/KerelLacy/Desktop/Projects/treebook

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace app/controllers/user_friendships_controller.rb:17:in `create' Request

Parameters:

{"utf8"=>"?", "authenticity_token"=>"bJeIta+DuGDtrMr99dr/TaA27PA4YkV0+2yB6DOHV1M=", "user_friendship"=>{"friend_id"=>"mikethefrog"}, "commit"=>"Yes, Add Friend"}

Here is my code from User_friendships_controller.rb https://gist.github.com/lacykerel/4956271

On line 17, try changing this:

if params[:user_friendship] && params[:user_friendship].has_key?[:friend_id]

To this:

if params[:user_friendship] && params[:user_friendship].has_key?(:friend_id)

It's a small syntax error but it will prevent the action from working.

Hi Jason, that worked thanks!
