No way it's a typo

Completing the code challenge for -

Create a new UserFriendship instance variable set to user_friendship with the user set to the current_user and the friend set to the @friend instance variable.

Here's my code and I checked it against the corresponding video but still getting an error, What am I missing here?

  def new
    if params[:friend_id]
      @friend = User.find(params[:friend_id])
      @user_friendship = current_user.user_friendships.new(friend: @friend)

    else
      flash[:error] = "Need friend ID!!"
    end
  end

ok, so create a new UserFriendship instance variable. Done- @user_friendship =

set to users_friendship with the user set to current_user . Done- current_user.user_friendships.new

and the friend set to to the @friend instance variable. Done- (friend: @friend)

Fresh eyes?

For anyone else wondering- http://teamtreehouse.com/forum/create-a-new-userfriendship-instance-variable-set-to-userfriendship-with-the-user-set-to-the-currentuser-and-the-friend-set-to-the-friend-instance-variable

Basically @user_friendships = UserFriendship.new(user: current_user, friend: @friend)

In the video there is user_friendship which maybe isn't agreeing with the code challenge.

Hey, nitpicking but @user_friendship should be singular sans s, other than that passes!

thanks tony been having the same questions you had.

I dropped the s on @user_friendships

@user_friendship = UserFriendship.new(user: current_user, friend: @friend)
