Writing your first Django app, part 5 - error please help me.

[Seoyule Jo]

Hi Thank you for the great tutorial.

I'm shadowing this tutorial but keep encountering the following error:
AssertionError: Lists differ: <Question: Past question.>? != [<Question: Past question.>]

Below is the related code

def test_past_question(self):

question = create_question(question_text="Past question.", days=-30)
response = self.client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
self.assertQuerysetEqual(

response.contextlatest_question_list,
[question]

)

And below is the error message.
======================================================================
FAIL: test_past_question (polls.tests.QuestionIndexViewTests)

Traceback (most recent call last):

return self.assertEqual(list(items), values, msg=msg)

AssertionError: Lists differ: <Question: Past question.> != [<Question: Past question.>]

First differing element 0:
'<Question: Past question.>'
<Question: Past question.>

• <Question: Past question.>

? - -

+ [<Question: Past question.>]

Could anyone help me find out the reason of the error?

Thank you so much

Hi, you'll need to post on one of the support channels, such as the forum: ​https://forum.djangoproject.com

See TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels.

(It's hard to see from the code posted but it looks like you have a string value rather than the object in your context... — Good luck.)

It looks that you're using docs for a wrong version of Django.
