Failures:

1) Editing todo lists updates a todo list successfully with correct information Failure/Error: within "#todo_lists_#{todo_lists.id}" do Capybara::ElementNotFound: Unable to find css "#todo_lists_1" # ./spec/features/todo_lists/edit_spec.rb:8:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Deprecation Warnings:


RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup#example is deprecated and will be removed in RSpec 3. There are a few options for what you can use instead:

  • rspec-core's DSL methods (it, before, after, let, subject, etc) now yield the example as a block argument, and that is the recommended way to access the current example from those contexts.
  • The current example is now exposed via RSpec.current_example, which is accessible from any context.
  • If you can't update the code at this call site (e.g. because it is in an extension gem), you can use this snippet to continue making this method available in RSpec 2.99 and RSpec 3:

    RSpec.configure do |c| c.expose_current_running_example_as :example end

If you need more of the backtrace for any of these deprecations to identify where to make the necessary changes, you can configure config.raise_errors_for_deprecations!, and it will turn the deprecation warnings into errors, giving you the full backtrace.

Hi, it looks like you have an 's' on "within "#todo_lists_#{todo_lists.id}" do " but the loop in the index file is only singular.

Good luck
