NoReverseMatch error message - Please help

[Jeff Waters]

I am putting together a website which has a photo gallery where users can add comments. When I go to the photo gallery page, I get the following error message:

NoReverseMatch at /photo_feed/ Reverse for 'add_comment' with arguments '('',)' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['add_comment/$']

The code for the relevant part of the HTML document is as follows:

<h2>comments</h2>
{% if not comments %}
No comments
{% endif %}
{% for x in comment %}
<div class="comments" style="padding: 10px;">
<p class="font-weight-bold">
<h4>Comment by</h4> {{ x.user }}
<span class=" text-muted font-weight-normal">
{{ x.created_on }}
</span>
</p>
{{ x.body | linebreaks }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
<div class="card-body">
{% if new_comment %}
<h2>Your comment has been posted.</h2>
{% else %}
<h3>Leave a comment</h3>
<form action="{% url 'nowandthen:add_comment' image.id %}" method="POST">
{{ comment_form.as_p }}
{% csrf_token %}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Submit</button>
{% endif %}
The URLs.py entry for add_comment is path('add_comment/<int: image_id>', views.add_comment, name='add_comment'). Removing the int: image_id doesn't fix the problem.

When I go into admin, no ids appear to have been generated for the photos. Could it be that the problem is that there are missing IDs? If so, how do I fix this?

The repository URL is https://github.com/EmilyQuimby/my_now_and_then.

Thank you.

Trailing slashes are part of the path, so "/foobar/" is not the same as
"/foobar".

Hopefully that should give you a hint to what is most likely the cause
of your problem.

Kind regards,

Based on the rest of your template from the github link, looks like:

{% url 'nowandthen:add_comment' image.id %}

...should instead be:

{% url 'nowandthen:add_comment' p.image.id %}

Thanks Ryan.

I've just tried that, but I still get an error message.

By the way, is it definitely .id and not _id? I've seen both, and Django docs says: 'Behind the scenes, Django appends "_id" to the field name to create its database column name, which makes me wonder if it might be _id.

Incidentally, I've also tried amending the relevant URL path to path('add_comment/<int:p.image_id>', views.add_comment, name='add_comment') - with underscore and with a dot before the id - but that doesn't work.

Sometimes the error can be from your url.py or even views.py and also make sure no typo. Check each on e of the above carefully. Hopefully you might see the bug.

Cheers
