I've created two test stubs for you. Finish the test_detail_template test by using assertTemplateUsed to check that the

my code: def test_detail_template(self): '''Make sure the articles/article_detail.html template is used''' resp = self.client.get(reverse(articles:detail)) self.assertTemplateUsed(resp, 'articles/article_detail.html')

I can not understand where the error is. Thank you!

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'))
        self.assertTemplateUsed(resp, 'article/article_detail.html')

    def test_detail_template_writer(self):
        '''Make sure the article writer's name is in the rendered output'''
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 forgot to pass the pk of self.article when you use reverse.

response = self.client.get(reverse('articles:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.article.id}))

Also, you specify the template not entirely right (plural for articles needed)

self.assertTemplateUsed(response, 'articles/article_detail.html')
