Hi! after I finished the testing the whole app badge, I can't get treebook to open. I keep getting "syntax error, unexpected keyword_end" in StatusesController#index. here's the whole error message: SyntaxError in StatusesController#index
C:/Sites/Treebook/app/models/status.rb:10: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end Rails.root: C:/Sites/Treebook
app/controllers/statuses_controller.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' and here is the code referenced: app/views/status/index.html.erb
<div class="page-header">
<h1>Newsfeed</h1>
</div>
<%= link_to "Post a New Status", new_status_path, class:"btn btn-success" %>
<% @statuses.each do |status| %>
<div class="status">
<strong><%= status.user.full_name %></strong>
<p><%= status.content %></p>
</div>
<div class="meta">
<%= link_to time_ago_in_words(status.created_at) + " ago", status %>
<span class="admin">
| <%= link_to "Edit", edit_status_path(status)%></span> |
<%= link_to "Delete", status, method: :delete, data: { confirm: "Are you sure you want to delete this status?"}%> </span>
</div>
<% end %>
and app/models/status.rb class Status

attr_accessible :content, :user_id
belongs_to :user
validates :content, presence: true,
length: { minimum: 2}
validates :user_id, presence: true,

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Brian Goldstein -
The unexpected end
is the one on line 10 in status.rb. The reason it's unexpected is because you have a comma at the end of line 9 :)
