I have no idea why this test fails:
ERROR: test_song_list_view (songs.tests.ViewTests)
The song_list view should:
Traceback (most recent call last):

extra, resolver = resolver.namespace_dict[ns]

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsFound the issue. In karaoke/songs/templates/songs/song_list.html there is a reference to the namespace song:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %}Upcoming Songs{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h2>Upcoming Songs</h2>
<ul>
{% for song in songs %}
<li>
<a href="{% url 'songs:detail' pk=song.pk %}">{{ song }}</a>
performed by
{# In THIS url, song:performer should be songs:performer #)
<a href="{% url 'song:performer' pk=song.performer.pk %}">{{ song.performer }}</a>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endblock %}
Thank you for a challenging question! Happy coding!

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsIn one of your templates I am guessing you have "karaoke.song" as a {% url %} argument instead of "karaoke:song" (using a colon to indicate the namespace karaoke. See URL namespaces docs
TJ Takei
13,362 Pointshmm.. I fail to see "karaoke.song" as a {% url %} arg in my template files below.
..\karaoke\templates\base.html:
6 <body>
7 <h1>Django Karaoke!</h1>
8: <p><a href="{% url 'songs:list' %}">Upcoming Songs</a></p>
9 </body>
10 </html>
..\karaoke\templates\songs\song_detail.html:
7
8 <p>By {{ song.artist }}</p>
9: <p>Sung by <a href="{% url 'songs:performer' pk=song.performer.pk %}">{{ song.performer }}</a></p>
10 {% endblock %}
..\karaoke\templates\songs\song_list.html:
9 {% for song in songs %}
10 <li>
11: <a href="{% url 'songs:detail' pk=song.pk %}">{{ song }}</a> performed by <a href="{% url 'songs:performer' pk=song.performer.pk %}">{{ song.performer }}</a>
12 </li>
13 {% endfor %}
I'm still in dismay. Please help.

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsShould have asked earlier: are you running on a local system or in the Workspaces?
If in the workspaces can you create a Snapshot (camera icon in upper right) of your workspace and post the link?
