I have an issue, I have done these 0DOT project but in this particular video I get an error when doing POST 'create'

This is my config in the user_sessions_controller_spec.rb

user_sessions_controller_spec.rb 
    it "redirects to the todo list path" do
      post :create, email: "jason@teamtreehouse.com", password: "treehouse1"
      expect(response).to be_redirect
      expect(response).to redirected_to(todo_list_path)
    end

The error I get is

1) UserSessionsController POST 'create' redirects to the todo list path
     Failure/Error: post :create, email: "jason@teamtreehouse.com", password: "treehouse1"
     ActionController::UrlGenerationError:
       No route matches {:controller=>"todo_lists", :action=>"show"} missing required keys: [:id]
     # ./app/controllers/user_sessions_controller.rb:6:in `create'
     # ./spec/controllers/user_sessions_controller_spec.rb:19:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

It seems like it does not find todo_list action show.

Any ideas ?

Ahh figured it out, the user_sessions_controller.rb had missing s (plural) todo_list_path

class UserSessionsController < ApplicationController

def new

end

def create

redirect_to todo_lists_path

end

end

This:

expect(response).to redirected_to(todo_list_path)

1) It should say redirect_to, not redirected,

2) todo_list should be plural, so (todo_lists_path) - todo_list in singular requires an id of the list you want

This assumes that all your controller and form code is correct.

Tried

expect(response).to redirect_to(todo_list_path)

expect(response).to redirect_to(todo_lists_path)

now I set it to

  expect(response).to be_redirect

  expect(response).to redirect_to(todo_lists_path)

But still I get

Failure/Error: post :create, email: "jason@teamtreehouse.com", password: "treehouse1" ActionController::UrlGenerationError: No route matches {:controller=>"todo_lists", :action=>"show"} missing required keys: [:id]

I am not sure where the required key id is ?
