You have to look carefully on your code :) You've just misplaced assignment with condition. Generally, you need to assign a variable first (move it outside from condition block), then check the condition about successful saving.

I don't want to place the correct code right now, but if you still stuck let me know.

Redirect to the profile_path of the friend.

class UserFriendshipsController < ApplicationController
   def create
     @user_friendship = current_user.user_friendships.new(friend: @friend)

     if 
     @user_friendship.save
       flash[:success] = "Friendship created."
       redirect_to profile_path(@friend)
     else
       flash[:error] ="There was a problem."

The challenge said to just redirect to friend's profile, no matter you successfully save your friendship or not.
