django-tables2: LinkColumn: detail view links not rendering

I'm having difficulty in generating detail view links. Could somebody provide me with some insight as to where I'm going wrong.

models.py

class Company(models.Model):
    STATE_CHOICES = (
        ('nsw', 'NSW'),
        ('nt', 'NT'),
        ('qld', 'QLD'),
        ('vic', 'VIC'),
        ('wa', 'WA'),
        ('tas', 'TAS'),
        ('act', 'ACT'),
        ('sa', 'SA')
    )

    company_name = models.CharField(max_length = 100)
    client_code = models.CharField(max_length = 100)
    company_state = models.CharField(max_length = 3,choices = STATE_CHOICES,)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.company_name

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('company_list')

urls.py

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.CompanyList.as_view(), name='company_list'),
    path('<int:pk>/', views.CompanyDetailView.as_view(), name='company_detail'),
    path('new/', views.CompanyCreateView.as_view(), name='company_new'),
]

views.py

import django_tables2 as tables
from django_tables2 import SingleTableView
from django_tables2.utils import A 

class CompanyTable(tables.Table):
    class Meta:
        model = Company
        attrs = {'class': 'mytable table table-striped table-bordered table-hover'}
        company_name = tables.LinkColumn('company_detail', args=[A('pk')])
        orderable = False     

class CompanyList(SingleTableView):
    model = Company
    table_class = CompanyTable


class CompanyDetailView(DetailView):
    model = Company

What am I missing here? I've looked at other stack questions and I can't seem to figure it out.

When you are overriding an attribute of the Table class, you need to put it as attribute of the Table class, not in the Meta class. So, you need to define the table like this:

class CompanyTable(tables.Table):
    company_name = tables.LinkColumn('company_detail', args=[A('pk')])  # not in meta
    class Meta:
        model = Company
        attrs = {'class': 'mytable table table-striped table-bordered table-hover'}
        orderable = False
