"It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.", even the first task is the same.

I typed exactly the same line, but when I go back to first task it says "well done"

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'''
        resp2 = self.client.get(reverse('articles:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.article.pk}))
        self.assertTemplateUsed(resp2, '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('writer:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.writer.pk}))
        self.assertContains(resp, self.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 %}

You are very close. In the second test you are still examining the articles detail view. There isn't a "writers detail" view. Using "writer:detail" is raising an error which causes both the task 1 and 2 to fail, hence the "Task 1 is no longer passing".

Changing "writer:detail" to "articles:detail" in the reverse function should fix it.

In general, "Task 1 is no longer passing" usually means a syntax or other error was introduced with new coded add for the current task. The task 1 code itself usually is OK, but can't run due to the error during parsing.

Ah, I misunderstood the question. Thanks.
