Get the name of writer

Hi,

I need to make some test to get the name of the article's writer. And I have an error message saying that the task one which was good, is no longer anymore. Here is my code:

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={'article_pk': self.article.pk, 'writer_pk': self.article.writer.pk}))
        self.assertContains(resp, self.article.writer.name)

Why do I have this error?

articles/tests.py 
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', kwargs={'pk': self.article.pk}))
        self.assertTemplateUsed(resp, 'articles/article_detail.html')


    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={'article_pk': self.article.pk, 'writer_pk': self.article.writer.pk}))
        self.assertContains(resp, self.article.writer.name)
articles/templates/articles/article_detail.html 
{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block content %}
<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<time>{{ article.publish_date }}</time>
<p>By {{ article.writer.name }}</p>
{{ article.content }}
{% endblock %}

Indeed We don't use pk of writer.

Thanks for your help
