First Django app tutorial

[Yufenyuy Veyeh Didier]

Hi everyone, I'm new to python and Django. I also think I am getting it well. But I have an issue with the first Django app tutorial.
My questions display well redirect to the detail view well and to the vote view well. 

The problem I have is that my question does not display the 'choices' of type radio bellow the question text but displays the vote button of type submit

below is the code for the detail.html template and the image of the view on my browser. 

Can anyone help, please?

<h1>{{ question.question_text }}</h1>

{% if error_message %}<p><strong>{{ error_message }}</strong></p>{% endif %}

<form action="{% url 'polls:vote' question.id %}" method="post">

{% csrf_token %}

{% for choice in question.choice_set.all %}

<input type="radio" name="choice" id="choice{{ forloop.counter }}" value="{{ choice.id }}" />

<label for="choice{{ forloop.counter }}">{{ choice.choice_text }}</label><br />

{% endfor %}

<input type="submit" value="Vote" />

</form>

Your template looks fine, and as the question_text is displayed correctly, it probably safe to assume that your view is correct too.

Two things you can check:

- does this question actually have any related choices? You can check in the admin.

- check your models.py if you actually named the model "Choice". If you named it something else e.g. "Answer", the field on the Question model would be called "answer_set" instead of "choice_set"

Hope that helps,

Daniel

It will be a bit generic help: To understand what's going wrong with your code when you expect other type of behavior you can use debugging tools like: pdb or (if you use an IDE like pycharm) build-in IDE debugger (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/debugging-django-templates.html, https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/debugging-django-templates.html).

I believe you'll get to the root cause of the problem faster with debugger use.
