Now add a test that creates an instance of the Writer model and, using self.assertIn, make sure the email attribute is

Question

I can't tell what is wrong with this code. Link to exercise here:

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/django-basics/test-time/test-our-writer-model

articles/tests.py

from django.test import TestCase
from .models import Writer

class WriterModelTestCase(TestCase):
    '''Tests for the Writer model'''
    def test_writer_creation:
        writer = Writer.objects.create(
            name="John",
            email="John@example.com",
            bio="Coding"
        )
        self.assertIn(writer.email, writer.mailto())

articles/models.py

from django.db import models


class Article(models.Model):
    headline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    publish_date = models.DateTimeField()
    content = models.TextField()
    writer = models.ForeignKey('Writer')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.headline


class Writer(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    email = models.EmailField()
    bio = models.TextField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

    def mailto(self):
        return '{} <{}>'.format(self.name, self.email)

Hi,

I see that in your code is missing the self attribute in the test_writer_creation test function. I should be like this:

from django.test import TestCase
from .models import Writer

class WriterModelTestCase(TestCase):
    '''Tests for the Writer model'''
    def test_writer_creation(self):
        writer = Writer.objects.create(
            name = "John",
            email = "John@example.com",
            bio = "Codingt"
        )
        self.assertIn(writer.email, writer.mailto())
