Python Django Basics Final Details Article detail view

Why does my article/<pk> URL not point to the right article_detail.html ?

My error received is 'make sure the articles/article_detail.html' template is the right one'. It seems right to me. What might I be doing wrong?

articles/views.py
from django.shortcuts import render

from .models import Article, Writer


def article_list(request):
    articles = Article.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'articles/article_list.html', {'articles': articles})


def writer_detail(request, pk):
    writer = Writer.objects.get(pk=pk)
    return render(request, 'articles/writer_detail.html', {'writer': writer})

def article_detail(request, pk):
  article = Article.objects.get(pk=pk)
  return render(request,'articles/article_detail.html',{'article':article})
articles/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'writer/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.writer_detail),
    url(r'', views.article_list),
    url(r'article/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.article_detail),
]

I don't know if it matters in the challenges, but the indentation is off in your article_detail method...

Yes, it does matter. There needs to be two 4 spaces for the lines under the method. Not two.

The error lies inside the url.py

put url(r'^$', views.article_list),
