I am new to Python and trying to develop a simple blog application.I am getting NoReverseMatch at / error while trying canonical url. Tried different solution to fix this but i am getting help for django versions which are old. Please help me with a solution for updated Django version.
ERROR: Reverse for ‘post_details’ with arguments ‘(2020, ’08’, ’15’, ‘indian-software-industry’)’ not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: [‘blog/(?Pd{4})/(?Pd{2})/(?Pd{2})/(?P[-w]+)/$’]
This is my urls.py
from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path,re_path from blog import views urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('',views.post_list_view), re_path(r'^blog/(?P<year>d{4})/(?P<month>d{2})/(?P<day>d{2})/(?P<post>[-w]+)/$', views.post_detail_view,name='post_details'),
This is my models.py (used for reverse url)
def __str__(self): return self.title def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('post_details',args=[self.publish.year,self.publish.strftime('%m'), self.publish.strftime('%d'),self.slug])
This is my post_list.html
{%extends 'blog/base.html'%} {%block title_block%} Sentamil's Blog Home Page{%endblock%} {%block content%} <h1>My Blog</h1> {%for post in post_list%} <a href="{{post.get_absolute_url}}"> <h2>{{post.title}}</h2></a> <p id='date'>Published on {{post.publish}} by {{post.author|title}}</p> {{post.body|truncatewords:30|linebreaks}} {%endfor%} {%endblock%}

Answer
This is old method to for routing a URL
re_path(r'^blog/(?P<year>d{4})/(?P<month>d{2})/(?P<day>d{2})/(?P<post>[-w]+)/$', views.post_detail_view,name='post_details'),
In DJANGO 3.1 this method is used for routing a URL as i did below and it is understandable method
re_path('<int:year>/<int:month>/<int:day>/<slug:post>/',views.post_detail_view,name='post_details'),
And you have to change your “Canonical URL” as i did below
def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('blog:post_detail', args=[self.publish.year, self.publish.month, self.publish.day, self.slug])
