[1.11] Django loads sub-string url

[Henrik Baran]

Hi,

I face a very weird phenomenon. I have following two urls established:

url(r'types/$', views.types, name='types'),
url(r'box_types/$', views.box_types, name='box types')


If I load "/types/" the view "types" is shown, all ok. In case I load "/box_types" unexpectedly also "types" is shown. However, I expect "box_types" to load. How is this possible? I tested with some other urls and it seem like in case a url string is a sub-string of another url, it always loads the sub-string url.

Is this a feature I am not aware of or are we looking on a bug?

Thanks for reply and best regards,
Henrik

There is a bug, but it is in your regexes. You need to anchor the pattern to the start of the string: 

url(r'^types/$', views.types, name='types'),

url(r'^box_types/$', views.box_types, name='box types')
