Encountering NoReverseMatch Error at /courses/course/1/1/

I get a NoReverseMatch error when using a hyperlink for ‘app.greet_func’. For example, in my template:

{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>{% block header %}{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
    <nav>
        <a href="{% url 'app.greet_func' %}">Dashboard</a>
    </nav>
    {% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

How can I resolve this routing issue?

I recently encountered a similar issue where a NoReverseMatch was thrown because the URL was expecting parameters that weren’t provided in the template. In my case, the view function was designed to take an ID parameter, and I had overlooked passing that in the URL tag. Since the URL configuration defined a named parameter, it was essential to modify the template by adding the required argument. Double-checking that the parameter names and values match between the URL pattern and the template resolved the issue for me.

hey, seems ur route might need extra args. check if greet_func expects parms, and that the name in urls is exact. might be a small naming issue

Hey, I’ve been digging into similar issues recently and one thing I started looking at was really making sure that everything in the URL and view matches up perfectly. For example, if your view or URL configuration expects some parameters (like an id or slug), leaving them out in the template could be the culprit. Have you tried mapping out exactly what parameters are needed and then passing them explicitly? I found that sometimes even a small naming error or mismatch can cause the whole thing to break :sweat_smile:. What kind of parameters is your greet_func set up to accept, and did you possibly overlook one? I’m really curious if tweaking that might resolve it. Anyone else got a fun story when they solved a similar routing mystery?
