Ruby code challenge troubles

I'm having a lot of difficulty passing this challenge. The task I'm having trouble with is the first task in the attached challenge. It's to the point where I've gone back and looked at the video and pretty much copied Jason's code word-for-word, so I must be missing a ton here. Can anyone help me?

class UserFriendshipsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    if params[:user_friendship] && params[:user_friendship].has_key?(:friend_id)
      @friend = User.where(profile_name: params[:user_friendship][:friend_id]).first
      @user_friendship = current_user.user_friendships.new(friend: @friend)
      @user_friendship.save
      flash[:success] = "Friendship created."
    end
  end
end

Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problem. Did you find a solution or just decide to skip over it?

No, I wasn't able to solve it.
