    visit "/todo_lists"
    within "#todo_list_#{todo_list.id}" do
        click_link "Edit"
    end

    fill_in "Title", with: "New title"

Hello,

It looks like your missing a do statement at the end of your it clause. If you change your code to:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Editing todo lists" do

it "updates todo list successfully with correct information" do       # <-- Modify this line here to look like this

    todo_list = TodoList.create(title: "Groceries", description: "Grocery list.")
    visit "/todo_lists"
    within "#todo_list_#{todo_list.id}" do
        click_link "Edit"
    end

    fill_in "Title", with: "New title"
    fill_in "Description", with: "New description"
    click_button "Update Todo list"

    expect(page).to have_content("Todo list was successfully updated")
    expect(todo_list.title).to eq("New title")
    expect(todo_list.description).to eq("New description")

end

end

You should be able to get rid of that error. Please let us know if this helps you or if you need more assistance.
