CSS from statuses.css.scss not showing up?

Following the RoR introduction, building Treebook:

In the "Updating the Index Page" video of the Frontend Development badge of the project, the instruction was to add the following code to statuses.css.scss:

.status {
        border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC;
        padding: 5px 0;
}

.status p {
        margin: 4px 0;
}

 .status .admin {

        display: none;

}

...which I did. But it doesn't show up on the All Statuses page. All the other tweaks to the other files from that video (and those before it) worked flawlessly -- I feel like it's a big glaring simple mistake, but can't figure out why none of the CSS from that page will show up?

Your css looks to be good, can you post your markup file?

I'm sorry, I know this sounds silly but I'm not quite sure what you mean -- I've actually not learned CSS yet (I'm doing the HTML course as a refresher along side the RoR project, and then I'll go through CSS as well). Currently just trying to follow along with the videos as best as I can.

EDIT: If it makes any difference, this is an external sheet, and what I copy and pasted is literally the entire thing.

Not silly at all!

What I mean is can you post the code for the HTML (hypertext markup language) page this css corresponds to? This will be under 

views/statuses/index.html.erb

My guess is maybe it's an issue with the classes you have on your html elements. That is usually my first sanity check, for ex:

This WONT work views/statuses/index.html.erb

<div class="statsus">I have no border, and no padding :(</div>

statuses.css.scss

.status {
 border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC;
 padding: 5px 0;
}

The Css above won't render because I have a typo on the class for the corresponding html element.

OH. Duh!!

I had 

<div class="stats">

...apparently I missed a 'u'.

Of course. Thank you so much for your help!!

Hey,

I have the same problem except I don't see what is wrong with either file. Posted below.

index.html.erb

<div class="page-header">
<h1>All of the Statuses</h1>
</div>

<% @statuses.each do |status| %>
<div class="status">
 <strong><%= status.name %></strong>
 <p><%= status.content %></p>
 <div class="meta">
  <%= link_to time_ago_in_words(status.created_at) + " ago", status %> 
  <span class="admin">
    | <%= link_to "Edit", edit_status_path(status) %> | 
    <%= link_to "Delete", status, method: :delete, data: { confirm: "Are you sure your want to delete this     status?"} %>
   </span>
 </div>
</div>
<% end %>

and statuses.css.scss

.status {
  border-bottom: solid 1px black;
  padding: 5px 0;
}

.status p {
  margin: 4px 0;
}

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?
