I haven't touched Rails in a minute, but it looks to me that you don't have an index route for your todo_items.

First go to your routes.rb file in your config folder and add the index GET request route or just add "resources:" for your todo_items.

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html Section 2.1

Then head over to your todo_items controller and create a method definition for that route, it might look like 

class TodoItemController < ApplicationController
  def index
  end
end

Don't worry about putting anything in, Rails assumes by default you're going to return it's corresponding template...convention over configuration.

Then head over to your views folder for the todo_items and create the index.html.erb file and add w/e the course is asking you to add.

Your test should pass now, to make a long story short you don't have the route for the index controller action and that's why rspec is yelling at you.

Best, Dylan

Thank you for the explanation Dylan, I deleted the controller entirely that was causing the index issue. The listing was a markup mistake where I was listing the item twice in the list. One was just the title the other contained the title and the edit button.
