Python Django Basics Final Details Article detail view

Article detail view - Challenge Task 3 of 3

Can't seem to pass Task 3. Here is my code.

articles/views.py
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render

from django.http import Http404

from .models import Article, Writer


def article_list(request):
    articles = Article.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'articles/article_list.html', {'articles': articles})


def writer_detail(request, pk):
    writer = Writer.objects.get(pk=pk)
    return render(request, 'articles/writer_detail.html', {'writer': writer})


def article_detail(request, pk):
    try:
        article = Article.objects.get(pk=pk)
    except Article.DoesNotExist:
            raise Http404()
    else:
        return render(request, 'articles/article_detail.html', {'article': article})
articles/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url, shortcuts

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'writer/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.writer_detail),
    url(r'article/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.article_detail),
    url(r'', views.article_list),
]

Hi Andrew

Task 3 is asking you to use the get_object_or_404.

def article_detail(request, pk):
    article = get_object_or_404(Article, pk=pk)
    return render(request, 'articles/article_detail.html', {'article': article})
