How do you pass the pk to the reverse function?
import datetime
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.test import TestCase
from .models import Article, Writer
class ArticleDetailViewTestCase(TestCase):
'''Tests for the Article detail view'''
def setUp(self):
self.writer = Writer.objects.create(
name='Kenneth Love',
email='kenneth@teamtreehouse.com',
bio='Your friendly, local Python teacher'
)
self.article = Article.objects.create(
writer=self.writer,
headline='Article 0',
content='Something about 0',
publish_date=datetime.datetime.today()
)
def test_detail_template(self):
'''Make sure the `articles/article_detail.html` template is used'''
resp = self.client.get(reverse('articles:detail', self.article}))
self.assertEqual(resp.status_code,200)
self.assertTemplateUsed(response,'articles/article_detail.html')
def test_detail_template_writer(self):
'''Make sure the article writer's name is in the rendered output'''
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<time>{{ article.publish_date }}</time>
<p>By {{ article.writer.name }}</p>
{{ article.content }}
{% endblock %}

resp = self.client.get(reverse('articles:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.article.pk}))
#and use resp not response in your self.assertTemplateUsed so ..
self.assertTemplateUsed(resp,'articles/article_detail.html')

Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,011 PointsThanks that worked. Although my second part of the challenge now errors out with 'assertContains not used' this is what I am done
def test_detail_template_writer(self):
'''Make sure the article writer's name is in the rendered output'''
resp=self.client.get(reverse('articles:detail',kwargs={'pk': self.article.pk}))
self.assertContains(resp,self.article.writer)

:
import datetime
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.test import TestCase
from .models import Article, Writer
class ArticleDetailViewTestCase(TestCase):
'''Tests for the Article detail view'''
def setUp(self):
self.writer = Writer.objects.create(
name='Kenneth Love',
email='kenneth@teamtreehouse.com',
bio='Your friendly, local Python teacher'
)
self.article = Article.objects.create(
writer=self.writer,
headline='Article 0',
content='Something about 0',
publish_date=datetime.datetime.today()
)
self.response = self.client.get(reverse('articles:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.article.pk}))
def test_detail_template(self):
'''Make sure the `articles/article_detail.html` template is used'''
self.assertTemplateUsed(self.response, 'articles/article_detail.html')
def test_detail_template_writer(self):
'''Make sure the article writer's name is in the rendered output'''
self.assertContains(self.response, self.article.writer.name)
