Lightning trailhead solution for Event - Error "The campingList component isn't iterating the array of 'items' and creating 'campingListItem' components."

While working on the trailhead challenge "Connect Components with Events" I am getting this error - "The campingList component isn't iterating the array of items and creating campingListItem components."
Here is my code.

Thanks.

Hi Sumanta,

Sorry for this issue you are facing.

I faced a similar issue in the past. Note that the attribute name on the campingListItem component of 'campingItem' - I named this differently to ensure not everything was just named 'item' - kinda made more sense to me to do it that way. However, Trailhead expects that it will find an attribute named "item", so the correct (passing) code is:
<lightning:card> <aura:set attribute="title"> Camping Items </aura:set> <p class="slds-p-horizontal--small"> <aura:iteration var="item" items="{!v.items}" > <c:campingListItem item="{!item}"/> </aura:iteration> </p>
Naturally, everything in the campingListItem component had to be changed to reflect the new attribute name also...

Hope this helps.

Kindly mark this as solved if the reply was helpful.

Thanks,
Nagendra
