Switching to current_user.todo_lists bugs more of my code.

This is part of the Scoping Todo Lists video from the User Authentication with Rails course.

When I switch the code 

def create
    @todo_list = TodoList.new(todo_list_params)

to 

def create
    @todo_list = current_user.todo_lists.new(todo_list_params)

I get the error:

TodoListsController POST create with valid params creates a todo list for the current user
     Failure/Error: post :create, {:todo_list => valid_attributes},  valid_session
     NoMethodError:
       undefined method `todo_lists' for :user:Symbol

This switch in my code bugs every other test in my todo_lists_controller_spec file. I go from having 1 error to 6.

I have spent quite a bit of time on this trying to get the app to recognize that I'm logged in but I can't seem to fix it. Has anyone else had this trouble then completed it or can tell me where I may be going wrong?

Thank you.
