Django: When passing a string with -,anything behind - get droped

I try to pass a string param on django,but when I try it,anything behind - get droped.

I'm using Django 2.1.7 on Python3.My OS is Mac OS Mojave 10.14.

I'm accessing http://127.0.0.1:8000/ruleset/a096abd9-3855-4a91-9336-1d7e66aa5323

def ruleSet(request,id_):
    return HttpResponse(id_)

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    re_path(r'ruleset/(\w+)', view.ruleSet)
]

I except to get a096abd9-3855-4a91-9336-1d7e66aa5323

I got a096abd9 instead

Solution

  • it is happening because "\w" didn't match "-" char.

    You need to write regex which can match uuid.

    Try below

    urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('ruleset/<str:id_>', view.ruleSet)
]
