Q: The rspec test spec/pagination_spec.rb fails

Test rspec spec/pagination_spec.rb fails fails with the following error message:

Failure/Error: click_link("#{p+1}", :href => "/?page=#{p+1}")

Capybara::ElementNotFound:

Unable to find link "2" with href "/?page=2"

# ./spec/pagination_spec.rb:40:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'

# ./spec/pagination_spec.rb:38:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

# ./spec/pagination_spec.rb:13:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

But when manually going to the other pages on the browser, there is no problem.

A: In the routes.rb set the root at the beginning

Rails.application.routes.draw do

    root to: 'todo_lists#index'
    ...
end


For example, verify that when you login to the site, in the pagination control,
that the HTML for the link to the second page is as following:

```html
<a rel="next" href="/?page=2">2</a>

Note that the rspec test is looking for the link to be /?page=2 and not /todolists?page=2.
