OK - next up ... try making this singular:

todo_lists = TodoList.create( # other code

Change to:

todo_list = TodoList.create( # other code

thank you for help! it`s worked! when i typed code from video, i made some mistakes. where i can get source code from video lessons (maybe github)?

Not sure about Github - you can try my repo but I can't guarantee it is totally correct. And the commits are pretty random and won't follow the course structure, I don't think.

What's the error - that'll help us pin down whether it is code or a fail etc.

I`m try this lesson https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-todo-list-application-with-rails-4/build-a-todo-list-application-with-rails-4/editing-todo-lists

Ah, yes - your line:

within "todo_list_#{todo_list.id}" do

needs to have an additional hash in there:

within "#todo_list_#{todo_list.id}" do

That should clear that error and either throw another one or run O.

Hope it works!
