Creating the Friendship - test failure

In the "Creating the Friendship" video around 7:11, I'm getting the same test failure after I add the new code.

Test failure:

  1) Failure:
test: #create when logged in with a valid friend_id should assign a friend objec
t. (UserFriendshipsControllerTest) [test/functional/user_friendships_controller_
test.rb:93]:
Failed assertion, no message given.

13 tests, 16 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips

Code:

def create
    if params[:friend_id]
        @friend = User.where(profile_name: params[:friend_id]).first
    else
   flash[:error] = "Friend Required"
   redirect_to root_path
    end
 end
 end


 should "assign a friend object" do
     assert assigns(:friend)
 end

Hey john tabor can you post a link to your code on GitHub so I can take a look?

Hi Jason Seifer , my apologies, I ended up figuring it out. I had a .id in this code after (:mike) I removed the .id and it works fine. Thanks!

context "with a valid friend_id" do
    setup do
      post :create, friend_id: users(:mike)
    end
