Lots of people correctly suggest using named url patterns and the {%
url %} template tag to obtain a URL. The concept is great and follows
the DRY principle. However, I believe that if a pattern has an
"include(<filename>)" instead of a view function, the existing
mechanism fails. An example of the problem, using three files in a
standard Django project:
----------file views.py----------
def func:
pass
----------end file----------
----------file urls.py----------
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from views import func
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^drink/', 'views.func', {'myname':'drink'}, 'drink'),
(r'^eat/', include('urls2'), {'myname':'eat'}, 'eat'),
url(r'^exercise/', func, kwargs={'myname':'exercise'},
name='exercise'),
url(r'^sleep/', include('urls2'), kwargs={'myname':'sleep'},
name='sleep'),
)
----------end file----------
----------file urls2.py----------
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'views.func'),
)
----------end file----------
Invoking "manage.py shell", these are the results of calling reverse()
(which I understand from the documentation works very much the same as
{% url %}:
>>> from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
>>> reverse('drink')
'/drink/'
>>> reverse('eat')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in ?
File "c:\django\trunk\django\core\urlresolvers.py", line 297, in
reverse
return iri_to_uri(u'/' + get_resolver(urlconf).reverse(viewname,
*args, **kw
args))
File "c:\django\trunk\django\core\urlresolvers.py", line 284, in
reverse
raise NoReverseMatch
NoReverseMatch
>>> reverse('exercise')
'/exercise/'
>>> reverse('sleep')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in ?
File "c:\django\trunk\django\core\urlresolvers.py", line 297, in
reverse
return iri_to_uri(u'/' + get_resolver(urlconf).reverse(viewname,
*args, **kw
args))
File "c:\django\trunk\django\core\urlresolvers.py", line 284, in
reverse
raise NoReverseMatch
NoReverseMatch
Is there a workaround for this issue? Am I doing something
incorrectly? Should I file a ticket?
