Def url_options

Hi There!

Does adding the def url_options to the todo_items_controller break everything for anyone else out there? The only way I can get my tests to run is to delete this whole code snippet:

def url_options
  { todo_list_id: params[:todo_list_id] }.merge(super)
end

Any thoughts?

Yeah, I can't make this work and the 'best answer' has two close brackets and one open bracket - can someone explain what is going on - is this an artifact that doesn't work in new versions of rails?

The reason why it would be breaking if this is exactly how your method is written is because you are missing a bracket } at the end of super. 

    def url_options
       { todo_list_id: params[:todo_list_id] }.merge(super) }
    end

Any thoughts?

The bracket is closed earlier in the statement.
