The item list will not print.

Hello Ruby community, I cannot figure out why the item list will not print. I appreciate your input!

Thanks in advance :)

def create_list
    print "What is the list name? "
    name = gets.chomp

    hash = { "name" => name, "items" => Array.new }
    return hash
end

def add_list_item
    print "What is the item called? "
    item_name = gets.chomp

    print "How many? "
    quantity = gets.chomp.to_i

    hash = { "name" => item_name, "quantity" => quantity }
    return hash
end

def print_list(list)
    puts "List: #{list['name']}"
    puts "----"

    list["items"].each do |item|
        puts "Item: " + item['quantity'].to_s
        puts "----"
    end 
end

list = create_list()
puts list.inspect
list['items'].push(add_list_item())

puts list.inspect

print_list(list)

I figured it out. I will leave it up in case someone else is having difficulty.
I had left out a line of code #line26 puts "Quantity:" + item['quantity'].to_s :( 

def print_list(list)
    puts "List: #{list['name']}"
    puts "----"

    list["items"].each do |item|
        puts "Item: " + item['name']
        puts "Quantity: " + item['quantity'].to_s
        puts "----"
    end 
end
