Django get context data across Views

I know that there are several generic views like ListView, DetailView, or simply View. The thing is can I actually get the context data that are declared in a BaseMixin's get_context_data() and use it in a View that doesn't have override get_context_data()? Example:

 class BaseMixin(object):
    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        context = super(BaseMixin, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['test'] = 1
        return context

And the view that extends this BaseMixin:

class FooView(BaseMixin, View):
    def foo(self, request):
        context = super(BaseMixin, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        # do something 
       return

This is not working actually, even after put **kwargs as a parameter in foo(). The error is 'super' object has no attribute 'get_context_data'. So is there a way to get context data which was set in BaseMixin in FooView ?

Thanks for your answers :)

Thanks to @Sayes and all answer posters, I finally solved this problem. From what I figured out, the problem is actually in BaseMixin, the inherited class of BaseMixin, which is object, doesn't have a get_context_data() function, just like @Sayes commented. After replace this object with ContextMixin, everything works perfectly, at least perfectly for now.

Here is the modified BaseMixin:

class BaseMixin(ContextMixin):
    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # do something
        return context
