having trouble with treebook "saving models and redirecting" code challenge

Q: Set the flash success message to "Friendship created" if the @user_friendship is saved.

I must not be understanding it correctly but I know that flash[:success] = "Friendship created" is the setting part but checking if the @user_friendship was saved does not seem to be working no matter what I have tried.

Make sure to add the period in the flash message.

This did NOT work 

@user_friendship = UserFriendship.new(params[:user_friendship])
  if @user_friendship.save
      flash[:success] = "Friendship created"
  end

This did work

@user_friendship = UserFriendship.new(params[:user_friendship])
  if @user_friendship.save
      flash[:success] = "Friendship created."
end

Is the missing period on purpose? because I had no idea I was suppose to be looking out for it.. since it's displayed as a string and I couldn't tell because the right side keeps displaying mocha deprecation warnings. Was that because of the challenge?

well i was having some issues with chrome in general, turned off most extensions i use for work, been smooth now.
