Can't pass one assert in test

i've passed all tests with the exception of last line in this test:

class ViewTests(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.performer = Performer.objects.create(name='Craig Dennis')
        self.song = Song.objects.create(
            title='I Wanna Be Sedated',
            artist='The Ramones',
            length=149,
            performer=self.performer)
    def test_performer_detail_view(self):
        '''The performer_detail view should:
           * return a 200
           * have self.performer in the context
           * use the songs/performer_detail.html template
           * show the string version of self.song in the template
        '''
        resp = self.client.get(reverse('songs:performer',
                                       kwargs={'pk': self.performer.pk}))
        self.assertEqual(resp.status_code, 200)
        self.assertEqual(resp.context['performer'], self.performer)
        self.assertTemplateUsed(resp, 'songs/performer_detail.html')
        self.assertContains(resp, str(self.song))

Can't pass last line although i pass all tests in Eclipse

    class Meta:
        ordering = ['artist', ]

    def __str__(self):
        return '{} by {}'.format(self.title, self.artist)

    song = get_object_or_404(Song, pk=pk)
    return render(request, 'songs/song_detail.html', {'song': song})

def performer_detail(request, pk):
    performer = get_object_or_404(Performer, pk=pk)
    song = performer.song_set.get(pk=pk)
    context = {
        'performer': performer,
        'song': song
    }
    return render(request, 'songs/performer_detail.html', context)
songs/templates/songs/performer_detail.html
{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block title %}{{ performer }}{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<h2>{{ performer }}</h2>
{% endblock %}

You are very close. In the view performer_detail you pass song in the context but do not include a {{ song }} in the performer_detail.html template.

Sorry if that wasn't clear. If the challenge allows you to paste code as part of the solution then changing the file is usually fair game.
