I’m new to rails, and after completing Michael Hartl’s Ruby on Rails Tutorial, I am trying to expand some of the functionality. I started by changing the microposts so that they collect more data.
When running a rspec test, I can’t figure out why I am getting this error:
$ bundle exec rspec spec/models/micropost_spec.rb
...............F.....
Failures:
1) Micropost
Failure/Error: it { should be_valid }
expected valid? to return true, got false

I’m not sure if there is anything else you need me to post.
This got rid of the errors.
