I have run into an issue using reverse() to lookup named urls with capturing groups before an include().
Code: --------mysite/urls.py-------- from django.conf.urls.defaults import * urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^$', 'views.index', name='root'), url(r'^(?P<some_slug>\w+)/test/', include('test.urls', namespace='test')), ) --------end mysite/urls.py-------- --------mysite/test/urls.py-------- from django.conf.urls.defaults import * urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^$', 'test.views.index', name='index'), ) --------end mysite/test/urls.py-------- --------mysite/views.py-------- from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse from django.http import HttpResponse def index(request): # Works: returns '/(?P<some_slug>\w+)/test/' test_url = reverse('test:index') # NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'index' with arguments '('slug',)' # and keyword arguments '{}' not found. test_url = reverse('test:index', args=['slug']) # NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'index' with arguments '()' # and keyword arguments '{'some_slug': 'slug'}' not found. test_url = reverse('test:index', kwargs={'some_slug': 'slug'}) # Desired output is '/slug/test/' return HttpResponse(""" root index<br/> <a href="{test_url}">Test</a><br/> """.format(test_url=test_url)) --------end mysite/views.py-------- --------mysite/test/views.py-------- from django.http import HttpResponse def index(request, some_slug): return HttpResponse('test index: %s' % some_slug) --------end mysite/test/views.py-------- reverse('test:index') will only resolve if you don't pass it any arguments. And then the result is the original regex... The desired behavior is for it to either accept args or kwargs of 'slug' and return '/slug/test/'. Is there a setting that I am missing to allow for this behavior? Is this a known bug? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
