Keyword arguments passed to ListView.as_view() in urlconf ignored, django 1.5.4

[Chang Sun]

code segment 1:

url(r'^some_url$', SomeTemplateView.as_view(), {'tab': 'index'}),

the 'tab' variable can be fetched in the template
while in

code segment 2:

url(r'^some_url$', SomeListView.as_view(), {'tab': 'index'}),

the 'tab' variable is missing in the template.

I found that in Lib\site-packages\django\views\generic\list.py
in line 139         context = self.get_context_data(object_list=self.object_list)
the **kwargs are not passed to self.get_context_data

Could this be regarded as a bug of django 1.5.4?

Appreciate any responses!

I don't think so. There is actually a ticket to discontinue this behavior on the CBVs that do it: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19878

Thank you for your reply, Tim.

This behavior confuses new users of CBVs. It takes time to learn it.
