I'm getting the error "didn't get the right template output from `ArticleList`".

Question

I believe my template is getting the context from the pk in the url. However, I am still getting this detail view error.

articles/urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.ArticleList.as_view(), name='list'),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.ArticleDetail.as_view(), name='detail'),
]

articles/views.py

from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView

from . import models

class ArticleList(ListView):
    model = models.Article

class ArticleDetail(DetailView):
    model = models.Article

articles/templates/articles/article_list.html

<h1>Articles</h1>

<ul>
  {% for article in Article_list %}
  <li>{{ title }}</li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

articles/templates/articles/article_detail.html

<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<p>By: {{ article.author }}</p>

    {{ article.body|linebreaks }}

Your problem is in this line for article in Article_list

Here is a link to the docs where you can find an example of how to loop through the list-items :-) https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#listview
