rspec: failure/error: _send_(method, file). syntaxError: 104: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input

Question

After doing the bundle exec rspec in the terminal window. I received two errors: [Failure/Error: send(method, file) and Syntax Error: /vagrant/src/grammable/spec/controllers/grams_controller_spec.rb:104: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input]. I am unable to passing the test due to 1 error occurred outside of examples.

I do not understand the Syntax Error and Failure/Error on my part. I thought I did it correct. — Brolin
You are having an extra end in the code in after first two test cases. Can you edit the question and add the entire file. — Prasath Rajasekaran
My apologize, I am new to this coding and new on here as well. I hope I edited the question and code correct? — Brolin

I think you have missed do in the first line RSpec.describe GramsController, type: :controller. Find below the edited code. Hope this helps!
