I’m experiencing this error where when I try to redirect a user to a webpage using Django, it showed me this error
maximum recursion depth exceeded
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.http import HttpResponse
def redirect(request):
response = redirect("https://google.com")
return response
app’s urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.redirect, name="donate-home"),
]
Project’s urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('donate/', include("support.urls"))
]
Did I do something wrong? Did I not add something in settings.py?
I’m new to Django

When you create the function “redirect”, you ovewrites the built-in function “redirect” In this case its behaving like a recusive function. You just have to change the name of your funnction and it sould be fixed ;)
