Task2/2: How to get correct test for self.article.writer response?

Question

What am I missing for the second test to allow it to pass?

articles/tests.py

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):
        '''Make sure the `articles/article_detail.html` template is used'''
        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):
        '''Make sure the article writer's name is in the rendered output'''
        resp = self.client.get(reverse('article:writer'))
        self.assertContains(resp, self.article.writer)

articles/templates/articles/article_detail.html

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block content %}
<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<time>{{ article.publish_date }}</time>
<p>By {{ article.writer.name }}</p>
{{ article.content }}
{% endblock %}

Hi cb123, I maybe wording this badly but forgive me. The url is the same for the article and writer parts of this task, so you would still use the same route name. Also the task is asking to check if it contains the 'name' value, not just article.writer. So after looking at the html file it would be article.writer.name. I made exactly the same mistakes first time too!
