Scope not loading in html

My todo scope is not loading on my page Also my ng-inspector in not working on chrome. Did anyone encounter this problem. Is it a Mac issue?

Below is my code

angular.module('todoListApp', [])
.controller('mainCtrl', function($scope){
        $scope.helloWorld = function(){
        console.log("Hello from the controller.");
    };

        $scope.todos = [
        {"name" : "cleaning the house"},
        {"name" : "Water the Garden"},
        {"name" : "Feed the Dog"},
        {"name" : "Pay the Bills"},
        {"name" : "Go running"},
        {"name" : "Swim"}
        ]

Is that all in one file, or is it just a copy-pates error? It looks like the HTML is in the controller but it should be a separate file.

I had to add a semi colon after my array declaration to get it to work

I moved the array expression inside of the controller and it is now working for me. Previously the console was saying "$scope not defined".

angular.module("todoListApp", [])

.controller('mainCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.helloWorld = function() {
    console.log("Hello there! This the helloWorld controller function, in the mainCtrl!");
  };
  $scope.todos = [
      {"name": "clean the house"},
      {"name": "water the dog"},
      {"name": "feed the lawn"},
      {"name": "pay dem bills"},
      {"name": "run"},
      {"name": "swim"}
    ];
});```

I changed the order and it works: <h1>My TODO List</h1> <div class="list" ng-controller="mainCtrl"> <div ng-repeat="todo in todos">
