index.html.erb contents different to those in video

I do not see the function(?) that calls the index number of the todo list task in my file. I haven't edited it since the application was created to my knowledge. It means that when I run the test in edit_spec.rb it fails with the following failure:

Failures:

  1) Editing todo lists Updates a todo list successfully with correct information
     Failure/Error: within "#todo_list_#{todo_list.id}" do
     Capybara::ElementNotFound:
       Unable to find css "#todo_list_1"
     # ./spec/features/todo_lists/edit_spec.rb:8:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Any help would be appreciated!

I think I had a similar problem, it was because I was looking at the wrong file:
odot/spec/views/todo_lists/index.html.erb_spec.rb

I should have been looking at this file:
odot/app/views/todo_lists/index.html.rb

In there, you should be able to find the spot to add 

<tr id="<%= dom_id(todo_list) %>">

Hope that helps!
