I'm work on the first code challenge which states:
"Set the flash success message to "Friendship created" if the @user_friendship is saved."
My code:
class UserFriendshipsController < ApplicationController
def create
if
@user_friendship.save
flash[:success] = "Friendship created"
end
end
end
it throws:
`create': undefined method `save' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
I've tried it without the if statement and the code still doesn't pass. Am I missing something simple here?

When I add this line to the code the response from the challenge is:
Bummer! There was no flash success message set.
but there is obviously a flash[:success] message set.
