The final line uses self.assertIn(). Thanks in advance!
import datetime
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.test import TestCase
from .models import Article, Writer
class ArticleListViewTestCase(TestCase):
'''Tests for the Article list 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()
)
for x in range(1, 3):
Article.objects.create(
writer=self.writer,
headline='Article {}'.format(x),
content='Something about {}'.format(x),
publish_date=datetime.datetime.today()
)
def test_all_article_return(self):
resp = self.client.get(reverse('articles:list'))
self.assertIn( self.article, resp.context['articles'] )

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 PointsSorry to say, but the challenge checker is completely overbearing on this one. Your code is correct, but the checker doesn't like the spaces inside the parens. This passes:
def test_all_article_return(self):
resp = self.client.get(reverse('articles:list'))
self.assertIn(self.article, resp.context['articles']) # <-- spaces removed from inside of parens
Tagging Kenneth Love: Can the checker be relaxed on the spaces checking?

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 PointsThanks Kenneth! What do you think about adding a "PEP-8" pre-check to all challenge grading, then error with "Fix PEP-8 errors before continuing. Error: nnn"
It will promote good coding and may simplify challenge validators.

Treehouse Guest TeacherChris Freeman while I'd love that, it would have to be an opt-in thing per challenge since, say, Python Basics students can't be expected to do PEP-8 compliant code right out of the box. So then I'd have to go back through all of the code challenges and add this in and...time :)
