destroy_spec.rb still failing

Sorry me again... There must be something tiny somewhere that I can't find.... my repo is here: https://github.com/knopfler81/odot/tree/user_auth

edit_spec.rb create_spec.rbindex_spec.rbare working good....

but destroy_spec.rb is driving me crazy... What the hell is wrong ?

 rspec spec/features/todo_lists/destroy_spec.rb

Deleting todo lists
  is successful when clicking the destroy link (FAILED - 1)

Failures:

  1) Deleting todo lists is successful when clicking the destroy link
     Failure/Error: expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)

       expected: 0
            got: 1

       (compared using ==)
     # ./spec/features/todo_lists/destroy_spec.rb:20:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Finished in 0.83766 seconds (files took 1.53 seconds to load)
1 example, 1 failure

Failed examples:

rspec ./spec/features/todo_lists/destroy_spec.rb:13 # Deleting todo lists is successful when clicking the destroy link

here is the destroy_spec.rb

require 'rails_helper'
require 'rspec/active_model/mocks'
require 'database_cleaner'

describe "Deleting todo lists" do
  let(:user){ create(:user) }
  let!(:todo_list) { TodoList.create(title: "Groceries", description: "Grocery list.")}

  before do
    sign_in user, password: "treehouse1"
  end

  it "is successful when clicking the destroy link" do
    visit "/todo_lists"

    within "#todo_list_#{todo_list.id}" do
      click_link "Destroy"
    end
    expect(page).to_not have_content(todo_list.title)
    expect(TodoList.count).to eq(0)
  end
end

Thanks if you can help ! maybe Steve Hunter again ? :smile:

Hi Nelly,

What's in your todo_lists_controller? There should be a destroy action in there?

Steve.

there is:

def destroy
    @todo_list.destroy
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to todo_lists_url, notice: 'Todo list was successfully destroyed.' }
      format.json { head :no_content }
    end
  end

I get some pretty spectacular failures!

104 examples, 30 failures and 3 pending.

I think I need to start again, though. I'm not happy that the git branches pulled across properly. I'll have another go later.
