Django TypeError: get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'quiz_name'

Question

I am trying to access a url from flutter webview , however, I am getting the following error. When I try to access this directly, I dont see any error.

File "/home/quiz/views.py", line 629, in dispatch
    return super(QuizTakeAutoAuth, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'quiz_name'

views.py

class QuizTakeAutoAuth(APIView):

    authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated,)

   
    def get(self, request, format=None):
        content = {
            'foo': 'bar'
        }
        
        return Response(content)

   
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        self.quiz = get_object_or_404(Quiz, url=self.kwargs['quiz_name'])

        if self.quiz.draft and not request.user.has_perm('quiz.change_quiz'):
            raise PermissionDenied

        if self.sitting is False:
            print("sitting false")
            if self.logged_in_user:
                return render(request, self.single_complete_template_name)
            else:                    
                redirecturl = "/login/?next=/quiz/"+self.kwargs['quiz_name']+"/startquiz/"
                return redirect(redirecturl)   

        return super(QuizTakeAutoAuth, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)

urls.py

url(r'^(?P<quiz_name>[\w-]+)/startquiz/$',view=QuizTakeAutoAuth.as_view(), name='quiz_question_auth'),

What am I missing here? I am using the same view elsewhere without any knox Tokenauthentication and works as expected.

Since you're using a paramater quiz_name in the url, it is being passed to your corresponding view. The current signature of your get method doesn't accept any additional parameters.

You may fix this by changing the method signature to:

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    quiz_name = kwargs.get('quiz_name')
    ...
