Django Basics Article Detail View Challenge, Task 3/3

I've tried everything I can think of to get task 3/3 to pass. You're supposed to throw a 404 if the event of a bad article PK. It seems like either of these should pass:

 from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404

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

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

But neither do. I'm really confused. Please help.

Thanks.

Guess I should have included the urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

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

Thanks again.

Your imports is missing render

from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render

Then this will work:

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