4,624 PointsWhy does my second test not pass?
I'm in the second step of this challenge, and worked out the test. I've looked up the Django documentation to see how assertContains works, and it seems I'm doing it right. I don't know if I address the name value correctly, or have set the .pk right. Please help :)
ps. if anyone has helpful documentation on pk's, please link!
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):
resp = self.client.get(reverse('articles:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.article.pk}))
self.assertTemplateUsed(resp,'articles/article_detail.html')
def test_detail_template_writer(self):
resp = self.client.get(reverse('articles:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.article.pk}))
self.assertContains(resp, resp.context['name'])
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<time>{{ article.publish_date }}</time>
<p>By {{ article.writer.name }}</p>
{{ article.content }}
{% endblock %}

4,624 PointsHi Boris, thanks - that worked for me! Some times it can be so close, and a decent error would do wonders. :)
Unfortunately I cannot mark your answer as best, as you posted it as a comment. Repost if you like and I will mark it.

6,837 PointsHi Heidi,
You just need to change a bit the assertion in the test_detail_template_writer test.
