Not getting the same error message as Jason at 2.20 mins. The error message I am getting is Adding todo items displays an error with no content (FAILED - 1) is successful with valid content
Failures:
1) Adding todo items displays an error with no content Failure/Error: within("div.flash") do Capybara::ElementNotFound: Unable to find css "div.flash" # ./spec/features/todo_items/create_spec.rb:30:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
The code it relates to is :
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Adding todo items" do
let!(:todo_list) { TodoList.create(title: "Grocery list", description: "Groceries") }
def visit_todo_list(list)
visit "/todo_lists"
within "#todo_list_#{list.id}" do
click_link "List Items"
end
end
it "is successful with valid content" do
visit_todo_list(todo_list)
click_link "New Todo Item"
fill_in "Content", with: "Milk"
click_button "Save"
expect(page).to have_content("Added todo list item.")
within("ul.todo_items") do
expect(page).to have_content("Milk")
end
end
it "displays an error with no content" do
visit_todo_list(todo_list)
click_link "New Todo Item"
fill_in "Content", with: ""
click_button "Save"
within("div.flash") do
expect(page).to have_content("There was a problem adding that todolist item")
end
expect(page).to have_content("Content cant be blank")
end
end

19,588 PointsI think this might be the answer:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Odot</title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
<% flash.each do |type, message| %>
<div class="alert flash <%= type %>">
<%= message %>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
I didn't write the alert flash message properly.
