Trying to send Validation Email in django, getting error

Im trying to send validation email when creating a user in django. It used to work like that but then I did some refactoring on the URLs and used urlpattern = UrlPattern() and urlpattern.register(UserView). That is in the main django project url.py

In the app url.py Im having

from django.urls import path
from myapp import backend


urlpatterns = [
    path('activate/<uidb64>/<token>', backend.activate, name='activate')

    ]

Here are the project urls

from myapp.views import RoomView, UserView
from django_request_mapping import UrlPattern

urlpatterns = UrlPattern()

urlpatterns.register(UserView)
urlpatterns.register(RoomView)

where activate is a function in backend_logic, which used to work and send the email to the one from request. However, now Im getting the error

Reverse for 'activate' not found. 'activate' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

Solution

  • Run python manage.py show_urls to see is your URL registered properly or not. (It's part of django-extensions package, very useful.)

    If not, include yours app's urls into your project urls.py.

    Example:

    # project urls.py
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path("", include("shop.urls")),
]

    # app shop/urls.py
from django.urls import path

from shop.views import catalog

urlpatterns = [
    path("", catalog.CatalogueView.as_view(), name="home"),
]
