Django Challenge Task - Deleting Reviews

Here's the question...

"We're starting to get a lot of advertisement spam in our reviews. We're going to implement a better solution later, but for now, write a function named 'can_spam' that selects all of the 'Review(s)' where the comment field contains the string "http" and then delete them."

Here's my answer...

"from . import models

def can_spam(): http = Review.objects.filter(comment__icontains="http") http.delete()"

I cannot figure out what I did wrong. Any help would be massively appreciated. :)

products/utils.py 
from . import models

def can_spam():
    http = Review.objects.filter(comment__icontains="http")
    http.delete()

Hi Daniel,

Your code is basically correct. You just made a small error regarding the models import. Since you are importing the entire module, the model is accessed by using models.Review, rather than just Review.

from . import models

def can_spam():
    http = models.Review.objects.filter(comment__icontains="http")
    http.delete()
