Error: Could not resolve URL for hyperlinked relationship using view name

[Joe Cabrera]

Hi,

I upgraded from DRF 2.4x to DRF 3.5.3 and Django 1.7.4 to Django 1.10.3 and am in the process of converting code to use the new API. 

My code is now returning the error: 

Could not resolve URL for hyperlinked relationship using view name "company-detail". You may have failed to include the related model in your API, or incorrectly configured the `lookup_field` attribute on this field.

I have read http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/3.0-announcement/#changes-to-hyperlinkedmodelserializer and am curious if this is the cause.

My serializer(s):

class CompanyShortSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):

    name = serializers.CharField()

    logo = HyperlinkedFileField()

    description = serializers.CharField()

    class Meta:

        model = Company

        fields = ('id', 'url', 'name', 'description')

        extra_kwargs = {

            'url': {'view_name': 'hired:company-detail'}

        }

class CompanyUserReadSerializer (serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):

    owner = UserSerializer(read_only=True)

    company = CompanyShortSerializer()

    title = EscapedCharField()

    role = EscapedCharField()

    class Meta:

        model = CompanyUser

        fields = (

            'url', 'id', 'owner', 'company', 'title', 'role', 'is_verified','is_demo','color'

        )

        read_only_fields = ('is_verified',)

Can't be sure unitl you show your view/url files but this here seems to be a bit fishy

extra_kwargs = {

    'url': {'view_name': 'hired:company-detail'}

}

 I'm not sure that 'hired:' with ':' is a valid thing. If you have a model named Company and you havent't specified any special view names for that route then "company-detail" should be enough
