Even i add the validate in the model i got the same error

I added the validation in the model but i got the same error

class TodoItem < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :todo_list


  validates :content, presence: true

end

1) Creating todo items displays error with no content
     Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("There is a problem with adding a todo list item")
       expected to find text "There is a problem with adding a todo list item" in "Added todo list item."
     # ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:31:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
     # ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:30:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Sorry guys i miss ":" next to the new in the controller 

class TodoItemsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id])
  end

  def new
    @todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id])
    @todo_item = @todo_list.todo_items.new
  end


  def create
    @todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id])
    @todo_item = @todo_list.todo_items.new(todo_item_params)

    if @todo_item.save
        flash[:success] = "Added todo list item."
        redirect_to todo_list_todo_items_path
    else
        flash[:error] = "There was a problem adding that todo list item."
        render action: :new
    end
  end

  private
  def todo_item_params
    params[:todo_item].permit(:content)
  end

end
