SyntaxError: invalid syntax in polls//urls.py . Why do i get this error?


I'm using django 3.1.7 and following it's create app documentation. I'm stuck at part 3 because it gives syntax error.

Here is the urls.py:

from django.urls import path
from polls import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('',views.index, name='index'),
    path('<int:question_id>/', views.detail, name='detail'),
    path('<int:question_id>/results/', views.results, name='results'),
    path('<int:question_id>/vote/', views.vote, name='vote'),
]

Error:

What is the thing that I'm missing about name? How can I fix it?


Solution

  • The mistake is here:

    path('<int:question_id>/results/'), views.results, name='results'),
    

    Extra closing parenthesis ends the path method call before you pass other arguments. Change it to:

    path('<int:question_id>/results/', views.results, name='results'),
