and the views.py and urls.py file:

Answer 1

The problem is an incorrect indentation of your function.

add_comment_to_post is currently part of the previous defined class (with has the function delete for example).

So if you change your indentation the error will be gone, e.g.

class MyView(...):
    ...
    def delete(self, *args, **kwargs):
        messages.success(self.request, 'Post Deleted')
        return super().delete(*args, **kwargs)


# next method should not have the same indentation of `delete`
def add_comment_to_post(request, pk):
    ....
