Django 2.0 tutorial

[Carl Brubaker]

I am brand new to Python and Django. I am trying to learn both simultaneously. I wanted to run the Django tutorial to make sure it works on my computer, iMac running 10.13.1.

I know I have coding issues, and managed to figure out some of the problems that I had, but the polls tutorial does not work.

Things I have figure out:

   Don't type "python", use "python3".
       - Since 2.0 only works in Python 3, shouldn't the tutorial be updated to that? Or is that just because I have a Mac that comes preinstalled with Python 2?

   Add "from django.conf.urls import include" to mysite/urls.py
        - Again, not mentioned in the tutorial.

I no longer have errors in my terminal, but the "polls" website is not found in my browser.

   Error in the browser:
    

     Page not found (404)

Request Method:	GET
Request URL:	http://localhost:8000/polls

      Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

1.  polls/
2. admin/

      The current path, polls, didn't match any of these.

   Error in the terminal

      python3 manage.py runserver
      Performing system checks...

      System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

      You have 14 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions.
      Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

      November 23, 2017 - 10:13:03
      Django version 2.0rc1, using settings 'mysite.settings'
      Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
      Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
      Not Found: /polls
      [23/Nov/2017 10:13:09] "GET /polls HTTP/1.1" 404 2060

I'm trying to look through issues from previous versions to see if I get lucky. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Correction - The "import include" was mentioned in the tutorial, I missed it.

I still need help!

if the tutorial is not updated to django 2, then stick and install django 1.11

I´m a beginner too, and I was able to complete the django-girls tutorial; which is awesome for beginners

good luck.

Did you apply the migration?

Run the migration first.

Then try again.

Ok, I applied the migration, but it still doesn't work. Maybe this is a django 2.0 bug that needs worked out. I figured I'd learn 2.0 so I wouldn't have to relearn after 2.0 releases. The initial check before creating the "polls app" worked, but it can never find the address. Still need more help. Thanks!

Hi Carl,

I didn't expect the migration to solve your problems - but it solved other problems you didn't seem to note that you had.

You need to have two urls.py - one in the polls (orr app) directory and one in the project directory - what ever you called your original project in which the polls app.

do you have a myproject/polls/urls.py *and* myproject/myproject/urls.py?

Does the myproject/polls/urls.py look like the first urls.py shown under https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial01/#write-your-first-view

Does the myproject/myproject/urls.py look like the second urls.py shown under here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial01/#write-your-first-view

Once they do look like this - have you restarted the runserver?

I figured it out. I had a space in between the "path(' '," single quotes in the polls.urls and there isn't supposed to be one. Thanks for all of your help.
