Viewing Todo Item: par

I cannot pass the spec test because. The variable cannot find ":todo_list_id" and i dont know why!? can anyone help?

this is the error that i get :

1) Viewing todo items displays the title of the page Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content("todo_list.title") expected to find text "todo_list.title" in "#<TodoList::ActiveRecord_Relation:0xa4c27dc>" # ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:16:in block (3 levels) in <top (required)>' # ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:15:inblock (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

@todo_list = TodoList.find(params[:todo_list_id])

I'm not sure if this should have the double quotes: have_content("todo_list.title"). Try removing them.

Hey Maciej, thx for your help. I figured it out. I did not do I proper relationship between my tables "todo_list" and "todo_items". Therefore every time I was trying to find the "todo_list_id" within the Todo_items#index page, it just couldn't because the relationship wasn't properly made.

Thank again your quick replies, greatly appreciated.
