I am attempting to complete the "Create a Form to Enter New Items" challenge but keep getting error message.

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/lex_dev_lc_basics/lex_dev_lc_basics_forms

The message is "Challenge not yet complete in My Trailhead Playground 1. The campingList component isn't iterating the array of 'items' and creating 'campingListItem' components.".

I have reviewed all the answers related to this issue but still can't figure it out.

I was able to complete each of the challenges related to the issues above. I ended up rewriting some of the code to comply with the errors I was receiving from the challenge.

By the way, it works perfectly on the front-end when I add items manually.

The challenge said not to use the helper, but add the refresh code to the controller. That was done.

Here is the code:

Thank you for replying. I did find those posts previously, but they are of no help at this point. My component is working properly saving data back to salesforce, etc., and seems to be configured correctly. I've re-written it a numbe of different ways but I continue to get the same error when submitting the challenge: "The campingList component isn't iterating the array of 'items' and creating 'campingListItem' components." Not sure what to do at this point.
