Twitter.search return strange results

I’m at the integration test in the TDD course where I’m asserting that “rails” shows up in my Twitter search. This test fails. When I look at the results of Twitter.search(‘##{params[:id]}’).results, where params[:id] is “rails” I get weird tweets back that don’t have rails anywhere in the text. In fact I get the same tweets no matter what I search for. Can someone help me figure this out?

Here are the tweets:

@nikhilhira are you interpolating the Ruby string? You’ll want to start with Twitter.search("##{params[:id]}").results instead of Twitter.search('##{params[:id]}').results (notice double vs. single quotes) to ensure the string the user is searching for gets passed through correctly. Let me know if you still run into issues!

@joshclayton thanks. That was a silly mistake on my part. It works now:)
