RedirectView failing silently on NoReverseMatch is confusing

[Grzegorz Tężycki]

Hi everyone.

Tim Graham told me that problem with ticet: #26911 should be discuss on mailing list.
Details of ticket are here : https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26911

When developer set 'pattern_name' in RedirectView and this pattern is incorrect, then method catch NoReverseMatch exception and return None.

I think, that method get_redirect_url should raise ImproperlyConfigured error with
message "Reverse URL for 'xxxx' not found.", or NoReverseMatch exception not should be catch

What you think about this.

It looks like Tim wanted you to talk to the Django Developers list.  This is the Django Users list.

 

Stating that, I think the NoReverseMatch exception should not be caught.
