Creating Friendship UI Form

Right got this one sorted for you.

def create
    @user_friendship = UserFriendship.new(params[:user_friendship])
    if @user_friendship.save
        flash[:success] = "Friendship created."
    end
end

The question isn't very helpful as it doesn't tell you that you need to create a new UserFriendship instance first.

You also need to change the action from new to create and there needs to be a full-stop at the end of the flash message.

It's almost as though there should be a task prior to this one in the code challenge.

Yea, we really need some hints during these challenges. There's no way beginners can remember all that syntax.

Or the tasks need to be smaller chunks of code. I'd rather do 10 tasks that break it up and make easier to challenge myself and remember things.

This code challenge REALLY needs to be reworked, the instructions do not tell you the correct specifics (such as a missing period) that cause it to fail... this leads you into second guessing yourself and understanding of the material rather than fixing a typo. The redirect should be specified in which situation they should be redirected_to profile (upon success or failure of save).

This whole section was very frustrating... I found my self pausing the video constantly to even type/copy along with the lesson rather than actually absorb the material... way too fast.

Hi Luca,

Try:

if @user_friendship.save
    flash[:success] = "Friendship created"
end

I haven't actually done this code challenge so I'm flying a little blind with this one.

Hi Matt,

first thank you for the fast reply. I've already tried that approach but it show me the error message.

I've also tried to play with it with

if @user_friendship.save?
  flash[:success] = "Friendship created"
end

But with no result :( (your code is what I initially tought it was right)

I have also had trouble with this question and not matter what I change, I keep getting it wrong. (I tried all three ways listed above) plus changing the def from new to create

Oh I see, I definetely misunderstood the task XD. Thank you very much Matt! (at least the @user_friendship.save part was right :P)

Yeah, I bombed on this one as well, had to hit google up. Really had no idea how to solve this.

I also got stuck here. Thanks for the help.
