Password change and reset views, url NoReverseMatch

Using Django Mystery Errors
1

i’ve configured a seperate app to manage logins,logout, password change and reset…However after changing password at :
name= password_change after password has been change it supposed to return page urlpattern name = password_change_done but it keeps returning an error saying :

NoReverseMatch at /accounts/password-change

Reverse for ‘password_change_done’ not found. ‘password_change_done’ is not a valid view function or pattern name.

app_name = 'accounts'

    path('password-change',views.PasswordChange.as_view(),name="password_change"),
    path('password-change/done',views.PasswordChangeDone.as_view(),name="password_change_done"),
    path('password-reset',views.PasswordReset.as_view(), name="password_reset"),
    path('password-reset/done',views.PasswordResetDone.as_view(), name="password_reset_done"),
    path('password-reset/confirm',views.PasswordResetConfirm.as_view(), name="password_reset_confirm"),
    path('password-reset/complete',views.PasswordResetComplete.as_view(), name="password_reset_complete"),

By using the app_name attribute, you have created a namespace for those urls, which needs to be specified when referencing those urls by name.

See the docs and examples at URL dispatcher | Django documentation | Django

Fixed the issue my registering no namespace nor app_name… However the page password_reset_complete keeps returning this error : suggesting the namepace = accounts isn’t registered but i don’t have it anywhere registered in the app.

Are you using a system-provided template or a template that you have created for the view being called by the /accounts/password-reset/complete url?

Please post your PasswordResetComplete view and the template it is rendering.

views.py :

import django.contrib.auth.views as auth_views


class PasswordResetComplete(auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView):
    template_name = 'registration/password-reset/password-reset-complete.html'

template :

<head>
<title>Password reset complete</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h3>Password set</h3>
    <p>Your new password has been set <a href="{%url 'user_login' %}">login</a></p>
</body>

What is your LOGIN_URL setting?
