I am unable to save trailhead challenge "Create a Lightning Component" -

While attempting to complete the Trailhead challenge (Snapshot # 1) I am getting an error "Failed to save undefined: Invalid definition for null:MyContactListController: null: Source" (Snapshot # 2) and cannot see why is it failing. In some article, I read that the issue could have been caused by the controller name so I change it but still no luck. Any help will be appreciated.

Lightning Component: 
<aura:component controller="MyContactListController">
</aura:component>

Controller: 
({
	myAction : function(component, event, helper) {
		var action = component.get("c.getContacts");
        action.setCallback(this, function(data) {
        component.set("v.contacts", data.getReturnValue());
        });
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
	}
})

The controller attribute in aura:component must contain the name of your apex class and not the name of the controller in your component bundle. Solution is to create an apex class with the name MyContactListController and then try to save your MyContactList component.

You may have skipped the previous step to create the MyContactListController controller ( https://trailhead.salesforce.com/projects/quickstart-lightning-components/steps/quickstart-lightning-components2 )
