I am trying to set up a spring command but keep receiving the message:
! Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key
'/pgf/decoration/\pgfkeyscurrentname ' and I am going to ignore it. Perhaps
you misspelled it.
The code I have is:
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[decoration = coil,
spring/.style = {
decoration = {
pre length = #1,
post length = #1}
}]
\fill[pattern = north east lines] (-2cm, 0) coordinate (A) rectangle
(2cm, 0.25cm);
\draw (A) -- (2cm, 0);
\draw[decorate, spring = 0.15cm] (-1cm, 0) -- (-1cm, -1cm);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Everything is spelled correctly so I am not sure what the issue is.

You need
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}
