Django 2 NoReverseMatch (Default Django Reset Password View)

[Emprex KG]

Hey Everyone,

I have been getting to grips wit Django over the last week no real issue :D

However today since adding namespaces to my apps, I have gotten this error

NoReverseMatch
       at /account/reset_password/

 

Reverse for 'password_reset_done' not found. 'password_reset_done' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

I know that I need to change the post_reset_redirect but not sure how to do it

current url.py

path('reset_password/', PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password.html'),
     name='reset_password'),

I found the solution

by adding success_url to the path

path('reset_password/', PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name='accounts/reset_password.html',
     success_url='/account/reset_password/done'), name='reset_password'),

so, Django has a couple views for password resets.  First is the actual password reset page, which sends a POST request, then redirects to Done which is the template returned to the server.  What's happening here is Django can't find the URL name password_reset_done, and throws this error

If you're customizing password reset, I would suggest looking at https://wsvincent.com/django-user-authentication-tutorial-password-reset/

https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions has a great utility, show_urls, as a management command.  This shows all the URLs in your project, along with the view classes/functions mapped to them as well as the url namespaces.  I wonder if you've done somethign else that removed password_reset_done from the project?
