Ruby Rails Layouts and CSS Frameworks Remember Me Setting a Signed Token

Not sure what's making this test not pass (remember_me_token)

Hey all!

I'm having trouble getting a test to pass even though I believe it's coded exactly as shown in the video.

Here's the test

 it "sets the remember_me_token cookie if chosen" do
        expect(cookies).to_not have_key('remember_me_token')
        post :create, email: "jason@treehouse.com", password: "treehouse1", remember_me: "1"
        expect(cookies).to have_key('remember_me_token')
        expect(cookies['remember_me_token']).to_not be_nil
      end
    end

def create
    user = User.find_by(email: params[:email])
    if user && user.authenticate(params[:password])
     if params[:remember_me]
      signed_token = Rails.application.message_verifier(:remember_me).generate(user.id)
      cookies.permanent.signed[:remember_me_token] = signed_token
    end
      session[:user_id] = user.id
      flash[:success] = "Thanks for logging in!"
      redirect_to todo_lists_path
    else
      flash[:error] = "There was a problem logging in. Please check your email and password."
      render action: 'new'
    end
  end

And here's the error I'm getting:

error

The entire project is over on github too, if that would help.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help! :grinning:

The problem is in your spec. Line 50:

post :create, email: "jason@treehouse.com", password: "treehouse1", remember_me: "1"

This email is not the same as the email of the user created at the beginning of this series of tests, line 19:

let!(:user) { User.create(first_name: "Jason", last_name: "Seifer", email: "jason@teamtreehouse.com", password: "treehouse1"

So just add team in line 50 and it should work properly :)
