14,136 PointsDjango CBV mixins - challenge
I'm getting an error saying that my Article Create view success message is returning the wrong thing. It looks identical to the challenge from what I can see, so I'm not sure where the mistake is?
from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy
from django.views import generic
from . import mixins
from . import models
class ArticleList(generic.ListView):
model = models.Article
class ArticleDetail(generic.DeleteView, generic.DetailView):
model = models.Article
template_name = 'articles/article_detail.html'
class ArticleCreate(LoginRequiredMixin, mixins.SuccessMessageMixin, generic.CreateView):
fields = ('title', 'body', 'author', 'published')
model = models.Article
success_message = "Article created!"
class ArticleUpdate(LoginRequiredMixin, mixins.SuccessMessageMixin, generic.UpdateView):
fields = ('title', 'body', 'author', 'published')
model = models.Article
def get_success_message(self):
obj = self.get_object()
return "{} updated!".format(obj.title)
class ArticleDelete(LoginRequiredMixin, generic.DeleteView):
model = models.Article
success_url = reverse_lazy('articles:list')
class ArticleSearch(generic.ListView):
model = models.Article
def get_queryset(self):
qs = super().get_queryset()
term = self.kwargs.get('term')
if term:
return qs.filter(body__icontains=term)
return qs.none()
from django.contrib import messages
class SuccessMessageMixin:
success_message = ""
def get_success_message(self):
return self.success_message
def form_valid(self, form):
messages.success(self.get_success_message())
return super().form_valid(form)

14,136 PointsHmmm so I should change the mixin to use?:
messages.success(request, self.get_success_message())
This didn't work unfortunately.
