Treehouse Guest TeacherThe grader doesn't care about the variable names in the view. The original code is failing because getPk (the first line in the view), and getPK (in the context dictionary), are not the same variable. The context dictionary's getPK doesn't exist.

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsSorry in advance. Your code is correct, but the grader is uber-picky. It is looking for . Changing to writer as the variable name and for some reason doesn't like getPkwriter passes the challenge:
def writer_detail(request, pk):
writer = Writer.objects.get(pk=pk)
return render(request, 'articles/writer_detail.html', {'writer': writer})
Edit: Didn't see typo in OP. Deferring to Kenneth's correct answer.

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsTagging Kenneth Love to check if the challenge grader for Writer View can be relaxed to allow different variable names.

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsYep! You are correct again! I missed the typo and jump way to far to a false conclusion.
Maybe it's time to add flake8 or pylint to the grader results to catch these errors.
Marking best answer!
