Redirect to the profile_path of the friend.

My code in the 3rd code challenge doesn't seem to be passing and I'm not sure how to have it pass.

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/building-social-features-in-ruby-on-rails/building-the-friendship-ui/saving-models-and-redirecting

Here is what I have:

class UserFriendshipsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @user_friendship = UserFriendship.new(params[:user_friendship])
    if @user_friendship.save
          flash[:success] = "Friendship created."
          redirect_to profile_path(@friend)
    else
          flash[:error] = "There was a problem."
          redirect_to root_path
    end
  end
end

Hey Jim Shook your code is correct. There's a small issue with the code challenge engine which is being worked on now. Sorry about that!

This should be working now. Just a heads-up, Jim Shook you can put the redirect at the end of the if/else block and remove the redirect_to root_path if there was an error. That will make the code challenge pass.

Seems like something is up with the engine again? Can't get else flash[:error] = "There was a problem." redirect_to root_path end end end

to pass the final step.
