neo4j, how can search for relationship in this example?

I was learning neo4j, and following the tutorial provide atsearching for relationship.

I followed it, added two nodes and a relationship between them. I did exactly according to the tutorial in above link. But when i try to display the relationship i just added, by the following

  MATCH (e)-[r:DO_SHOPPING_WITH ]->(cc) 
  RETURN r

it showed nothing.

to make sure, I displayed all nodes by

 MATCH (a) return a

and it showed 2 nodes and the relationship between them.

Not only this case, I tried later examples, by similar search for relationship all are showed empty.

could anyone explain why I cannot display the relationship as it is told in the tutorial?

Pretty simple example, but somehow not working. Please help!

It sounds like you're just talking about the graph result view. When the only items returned from a query are relationships, they won't show up, as it requires the nodes on either side of a relationship to be returned in order to display.

While this is current behavior, past behavior was able to display the start and end nodes of a relationship even if just relationships were returned, and it's not a bad idea to consider reverting to this previous behavior.

I think this issue on the browser project is related.
