So stuck on Challenge Task 1 of 3 for Ruby Loops Adding Contacts

I am so stuck on this challenge. I've even gone through the forum to try and find some help with a solution. I keep getting this error message "Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - 1" which doesn't really help me solve or debug the problem.

contact.rb 
contact_list = []

contact = {"name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => "" }
def get_name
  print "Enter name: "
  gets.chomp
  end

contact["name"] = get_name()

Hi Erin,

contact = {"name" => "..............", "phone_number" => "" }

You just need to assign the key (name) to have value of the method which is get_name()

Here's example:

contact = {"name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => "" }

Moreover, you don't have to add extra codes that would give us error messages. ;)
