@pets = Pet.all render template: "pets/index.html.erb", layout:"application"

Unable to get it right as i am sure this code is correct or missing one or two, please correct me if you can

app/controllers/pets_controller.rb 
class PetsController < ApplicationController

  def index
    # YOUR CODE HERE
  end

end
app/views/pets/index.html.erb 
<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>

<h1>Pets</h1>

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Birthdate</th>
      <th colspan="3"></th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <% @pets.each do |pet| %>
      <tr>
        <td><%= pet.name %></td>
        <td><%= pet.birthdate %></td>
      </tr>
    <% end %>
  </tbody>
</table>

You just need to set an instance variable (@pets) equal to all the Pets (Pet.all) inside the index method if you want to pass the challenge:

@pets = Pet.all

Or the challenge is giving to you another error?

Thank you for your answer,

Lesson rules: never learning anything in a very late night.

i was typing '@pets = Pet.all render template: "pets/index.html.erb", layout:"application" ' and puzzle why i get failed. it was all @pets =Pet.all, without render template.

Haha yes, take a break and try to "think" in your head what have you learned, and if after that you feel like you can keep doing it, do it :)
