Missing rake routes...How do I create new ones?

When running "rspec spec\features\todo_items\index_spec.rb", I get the following error, which at first glance appears similar to the expected error Jason has, but is actually different. F

Failures:

1) Viewing todo items displays no items when a todo list is empty Failure/Error: visit "/todo_lists" ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method todo_list_todo_items_path' for #<#<Class:0x48da8b0>:0x488b170> # ./app/views/todo_lists/index.html.erb:20:inblock in app_views_todo_lists_index_html_erb1035370699_37907172' # C:in each' # C:ineach' # ./app/views/todo_lists/index.html.erb:15:in `_app_views_todo_lists_index_html_erb_1035370699_37907172' # ./spec/features/todo_items/index_spec.rb:6:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

It seems like the error might be related to the fact that I am missing all of the "todo_list_todo_items" rake routes and only have the following:

C:\Users\Usuario\treehouse\projects\odot (master) Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action todo_items_index GET /todo_items/index(.:format) todo_items#index todo_lists GET /todo_lists(.:format) todo_lists#index POST /todo_lists(.:format) todo_lists#create new_todo_list GET /todo_lists/new(.:format) todo_lists#new edit_todo_list GET /todo_lists/:id/edit(.:format) todo_lists#edit todo_list GET /todo_lists/:id(.:format) todo_lists#show PATCH /todo_lists/:id(.:format) todo_lists#update PUT /todo_lists/:id(.:format) todo_lists#update DELETE /todo_lists/:id(.:format) todo_lists#destroy Root GET / todo_lists#index

Did some research and it turns out I was missing the rake routes because the routes.rb file had not been saved. 

 Odot::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :todo_lists do
    resources :todo_items
  end 
  root 'todo_lists#index'

Well - according to the error from your rspec, it was trying to visit /todlists. According to your rake routes output (I think, it's kind of jumbled) the correct syntax is todo_lists.
