Guil's code for publishedAt and shortDescription are not working

I've attempted the Nov 11, 2020 solutions and they do not appear to be working either.

Hey Liz Novaski, go ahead and share a snapshot of your code or a GitHub repo so we can check it out. :thumbsup:

It appears to be working as of this morning, so I'm not sure what changed? I was receiving the same error as Jordan describes in their comment where it was just showing the publishedAt() { const date = moment(this.createdAt).format("MMMM D, YYYY, h:mma"); return date; } instead of the formatted date

This also worked for me. First time I think I'd seen calling a function inside a view file.

Thanks, Jordan Kittle !

As an additional note, I've had to restart my server manually after changing the initializer in my model. This may be why it worked when you shut down and came back and started your server manually.
