Rspec test fail

So I'm receiving the following error when running the rspec test. I'm not quite sure as to where the mistake might be in my Ruby file but here is the error code and my source code below. Any ideas?

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Creating todo lists" do
    it "redirects to the todo list index page on success" do
    visit "/todo_lists"
    click_link "New Todo list"
    expect(page).to have_content("New Todo list")
end
end

Can you post your html and your routes.rb?

Might be a simple typo; I noticed you used a lowercase 'l' in 'list', rather than a capital "L".

here is the routes rb below

Todo::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :todo_lists
  root 'todo_lists#index'

Which HTML file would you be referring to? There are several. Thank you for your help :)
