Code Challenge Help. "Adding the Password Reset Controller"

I'm stuck and can't figure this out. Any help is appreciated.

Fill in the blank to complete the following code that would find a user by the email attribute. Assume that the email was submitted as a key in the request parameters:

Why won't this pass?

user = User.find_by(email: params[:email])

Thanks. Coming back a day later it does pass.

Maybe check if there is a bug here? I was really banging my head on my desk and reworking through the lesson thinking I missed something. I just would not accept this answer yesterday.
