ModelNotFoundException in Laravel Basics project

The error is:

"Illuminate \ Database \ Eloquent \ ModelNotFoundException

No query results for model [TodoList]."

Which is strange because I definitely have the TodoList class in the model and as far as I can tell I've followed all the instructions to the letter.

The line that's generating the error is "$todo_lists = TodoList::all();" from my controller, under the create method. The issue only happens with the /create url, if I go to the root or /todos then I have no issues.

Here's the code for the class:

"<?php class TodoList extends Eloquent{}

"

I feel like the problem is something embarrassingly dumb.

Hi Alex,

Could you post your entire controller as you shouldn't be making a call to get all your todo items when your creating an item.

Here ya go:

<?php

class TodoListController extends BaseController {


    public function index()
    {
        $todo_lists = TodoList::all();
        return View::make('todos.index')->with('todo_lists', $todo_lists);
    }



    public function create()
    {
        return View::make('todos.create');
    }


    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function store()
    {
        return "Create a new list";
        //$list = new TodoList();
        //$list->name = "Another List";
        //$list->save();
    }


    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function show($id)
    {

        $list = TodoList::findOrFail($id);

        return View::make('todos.show')->withList($list);
    }


    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
        //
    }


    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function update($id)
    {
        //
    }


    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        //
    }


}

Here are my routes:

<?php

Route::get('/', 'TodoListController@index');

Route::get('/db', function() {


    $result = DB::table('todo_lists')->where('name', 'Your List')->first();
    return $result->name;
});

Route::get('/todos/{id}', 'TodoListController@show');

Route::resource('todos', 'TodoListController');
