I’m developing a quiz module for my online learning project. When I attempt to add a new quiz to a module, I encounter an error that reads:
Reverse for 'new-quiz' with arguments ('', '') not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['courses/(?P<courses_id>[^/]+)/modules/(?P<modules_id>[^/]+)/quiz/newquiz\Z']
My project includes models for Answer, Question, Quiz, Attempter, Attempt, and Completion. I have corresponding views for creating quizzes, adding questions, displaying quiz details, taking quizzes, submitting attempts, and reviewing attempt details. The URL configurations are set up both for quiz operations and for course management, such as listing courses and creating modules.
I’m using templates to add both quizzes and additional course content. Can anyone help me figure out what might be misconfigured in the URL routing? I’ve checked the view functions and URL paths, yet the error still occurs.
Based on the error message, it seems the issue lies in how the URL for ‘new-quiz’ is being reversed. The error suggests that empty strings are being passed for ‘courses_id’ and ‘modules_id’ parameters.
To resolve this, first ensure that you’re passing valid IDs when calling the URL. Check the view or template where you’re creating the link to add a new quiz. Make sure you’re including both the course and module IDs.
If you’re using the reverse() function in your view, it should look something like this:
reverse(‘new-quiz’, args=[course_id, module_id])
Or if you’re using a template tag:
{% url ‘new-quiz’ course.id module.id %}
Also, verify that your URL pattern in urls.py matches this exactly. The current pattern looks correct, but double-check for any typos or mismatches.
Lastly, ensure that the view handling the new quiz creation is correctly configured to accept these parameters. If the problem persists, reviewing your view function and how it’s accessing these IDs might reveal the issue.
Hey Iris_92Paint! That Django error can be a real head-scratcher, huh? I’ve run into similar issues before, and it’s usually something small that’s causing the problem.
Have you double-checked that your URL patterns in urls.py match exactly with what you’re trying to reverse in your views or templates? Sometimes a tiny mismatch can cause this error.
Also, it looks like the error is trying to use empty strings for the course_id and module_id. Are you sure these values are being passed correctly when you’re trying to create a new quiz?
I’m curious, could you share a bit of your urls.py and the view where you’re trying to create the new quiz? That might help us spot the issue more easily.
Oh, and one more thing - are you using namespaces in your URLs? Sometimes that can complicate things if not set up properly.
Keep at it! These kinds of bugs are frustrating, but solving them is so satisfying. Let me know if you need any more help or want to bounce ideas around!
yo iris, that error’s a pain! make sure ur passing the right IDs when creating a new quiz. double-check ur template or view where u generate the link. it should look somethin like this:
{% url ‘new-quiz’ course.id module.id %}
if that doesnt fix it, post ur urls.py and the relevent view. we’ll figure it out!
