Unsure whats failing

I'm not entirely sure whats wrong with my code on this task. It keeps saying 'Try again!' but I'm unsure of what is wrong with my code. I first find a user with the incoming user_id, and than if that is successful, I create a new Relationship object with the from user as the current user, and the to user as the target with the incoming id.
