Including URLconf

[Alec Greenholdt]

as described in the documentation i am putting this code in. as soon as i put in "path('polls/', include('polls.urls'))," i get the following error. Please help

[Alec Greenholdt]

if i try to migrate, this error pops up as well

[David Crandell]

Do you have the app imported in the settings.py?

Also try using the "app_name" var in each of your urls.py files.

[Alec Greenholdt]

this is the installed apps in settings.py I haven't touched it. i only did what it told me to do in the django tutorial documentation. as a reminder, I attached only things I have added since I created the project. i even tried to delete it all and redo it and I get the same issue

Visit your settings.py file and include the app in INSTALLED_APPS. Check if that works.

That's definitely your problem. Include the app under INSTALLED_APPS - put "app_name.apps.AppNameConfig" with app_name being the name of your app.

[Alec Greenholdt]

this is what i did and it changed nothing. i also don't know what exactly you mean by app because I don't believe I ever created an app. as shown above the code  2 lines of code with polls is the only thing I've added as shown in the tutorial

[John Dollosa]

Question: Do you have a folder named polls in your project directory? And inside that directory there's an apps.py file? 

[Alec Greenholdt]

these are my folders. the only thing the tutorial had me create upon creation of the project and app was a urls.py file inside my "mainsite" folder. and I show in the code above what it had me add. those are the only things I have done

[John Dollosa]

Do you have a variable called PollsConfig inside this file (mainsite/apps.py) 
If yes,  can you change polls.apps.PollsConfig in your INSTALLED_APPS into mainsite.apps.PollsConfig
