Class Based Views URL

Question

Struggling to find the last part of this question. I know that the answer is easy but I still haven't gotten it right. Please help.
The bigger problem though is that i've recently been struggling to find help on the "Treehouse Community" as in I can't find similar questions and learn from them. I'm convinced that I would have solved this much quicker than have to wait for a response. I usually copy and paste part of the task or the task name("Basic Views") but recently there haven't been many similar questions. Are people just coasting through these tasks, am I using it wrong, has the search algorithm changed or what?
Please help on one or both.
```myproject/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
    url('/', views.WelcomeView.as_view(), name='/')
]
```
```myproject/views.py
from django.views.generic import View
from django.http import HttpResponse
class WelcomeView(View):
    def get(self, request):
        return HttpResponse("Hello")
```

You're very close! The problem is in the url. He is asking you to make the path "/" which would be something like this:
```python
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.WelcomeView.as_view())  # name="" is not required in this task
]
```
I remember it being really hard to find solutions about django when I went through the course.
I prefer searching through the django-docs since it's somewhat easy to find what you're looking for + the django-docs are just amazing imho! :-D
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ (this is for django v. 1.11 - just change the version number to the version you're using)
Keep on coding! :-D
