Why this is not passing?

I am cannot figure out why my code for this challenge is not passing. Any ideas, please?

articles/views.py 
from django.http import HttpResponse

from . models import Article

# Write your views here

def article_list():
    articles = Article.objects.all()
    num_objects = len(articles)
    output = "There are {} articles".format(num_objects)
    return HttpResponse(output)

You've made a simple mistake. Your function called article_list needs to have a perimeter. Most Django developers just call it 'request' as this is exactly what the function is doing; it's taking a request and giving you an output. So you should have defined the function as ''' def article_list(request): ... '''

The rest is perfect
