Courses Plus Student 3,040 Points"Check work" doesn't recognize that I've imported views
I have the line:
from . import views
However, when I check my work, it keeps failing with the text, "Did you import views?"
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong because this is the exact line that is working properly in my project, so why does it think I'm not importing the views?
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.hello_world),
]

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I agree that this particular Bummer message might be a bit misleading. The problem here really is not in your import statement, but rather in your url_patterns. You are trying to get the view hello_world which likely doesn't exist in this context. The challenge asks you to get the view index. Simply switching out hello_world for index will cause this to pass.
Hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 3,040 PointsYes, thanks! I figured out that I jumped ahead of what they expected by adding that url. I wish they had either better error messages, or just ignored any extraneous url definitions.
Once I deleted it, it passed. I couldn't figure out how to get back to this question to update it and say that I figured it out.
