from django.test import TestCase
from .models import Writer
class WriterModelTestCase(TestCase):
'''Tests for the Writer model'''
def test_writer_email(self):
writer = Writer.objects.create( name = 'Henry', email = 'henry@gmail.com', bio = 'Writer of Papillon' )
self.assertIn (writer.email , writer.mailto())
