Django - NoReverseMatch at /

Question

I'm trying to implement and Login and Registration system for my Django project. I'm currently getting this error...

NoReverseMatch at /
Reverse for 'register' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: []

Here is some of my code so hopefully you can help....

Urls.py

urlpatterns = [
url(r'^stocks/$', StockView.as_view(), name='stocks'),
url(r'^$', IndexView.as_view(), name="index"),
#url(r'^data/$', DataView.as_view(), name='data'),
url(r'^quizzes/$', DefView.as_view(), name='quizzes'),
url(r'^tickers/$', DefView.as_view(), name='ticker'),

url(r'^accounts/login/$', 'stockmarket.views.login'),
url(r'^accounts/auth/$', 'stockmarket.views.auth_view'),
url(r'^accounts/logout/$', 'stockmarket.views.logout'),
url(r'^accounts/loggedin/$', 'stockmarket.views.loggedin'),
url(r'^accounts/invalid/$', 'stockmarket.views.invalid_login'),

url(r'^accounts/register/$', 'stockmarket.views.register_user'),
url(r'^accounts/register_success/$', 'stockmarket.views.register_success'),

]

Views.py

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.contrib import auth
from django.core.context_processors import csrf
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm


def login(request):
    c = {}
    c.update(csrf(request))
    return render_to_response('login.html', c)


def auth_view(request):
    username = reqruest.POST.get('username', '')
    password = request.POST.get('password', '')
    user = auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password)

    if user is not None:
        auth.login(request, user)
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/loggedin')
    else:
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/invalid')


def loggedin(request):
    return render_to_response('loggedin.html', {'full_name': request.user.username})


def invalid_login(request):
    return render_to_response('invalid_login.html')


def logout(request):
    auth.logout(request)
    return render_to_response('logout.html')


def register_user(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/register_success')

    args = {}
    args.update(csrf(request))
    args['form'] = UserCreationForm()

    return render_to_response('register.html', args)


def register_success(request):
    return render_to_response('register_success.html')

Thanks for your help.

Somewhere in your project you used django's urlresolvers to return url for using a named url called 'register'.

After seeing your urls.py, it appears that you don't have any url with register named assigned to it. You should named it where it is appropriate.. something like this:

url(r'^accounts/register/$', 'stockmarket.views.register_user', name='register'),
