Given the following code, can anyone explain why Django can't reverse this, because I'm of the opinion that reverse is the flakiest function ever:
<< models.py >> class Post(models.Model): """created is a datetime object""" @permalink def get_absolute_url(self): params = dict(year=self.created.year, month=self.created.month, slug=self.slug) return reverse('post', kwargs=params) << urls.py >> urlpatterns = patterns('apps.article.views', url( r'^entries/(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{2})/(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/ $', 'entry_detail', name='post', ), ) I get the following error when trying to call post.get_absolute_url(): ====================================================================== ERROR: tests that monkeypatch to model works ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "./../apps/stream/tests/stream.py", line 45, in testCreatedPatch print article.get_absolute_url() File "/Users/REDACTED/Projects/django/trunk/django/utils/ functional.py", line 55, in _curried return _curried_func(*(args+moreargs), **dict(kwargs, **morekwargs)) File "/Users/REDACTED/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/db/ models/base.py", line 532, in get_absolute_url return settings.ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES.get('%s.%s' % (opts.app_label, opts.module_name), func)(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/Users/REDACTED/Projects/django/trunk/django/db/models/ __init__.py", line 30, in inner return reverse(bits[0], None, *bits[1:3]) File "/Users/REDACTED/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/ urlresolvers.py", line 256, in reverse *args, **kwargs))) TypeError: reverse() argument after ** must be a dictionary I swear it's a dictionary, so why does it always fail?
