Please help with Error Warning in MDN Web-Docs Django Tutorial Part 2

Using Django Getting Started
1

I am working on the MDN - Web docs tutorial:
Django Tutorial Part 2: Creating a skeleton website
What am I doing or not doing that I get the yellow warning sign like so

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.urls import include
from django.views.generic import RedirectView

urlpatterns += [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('catalog/', include('catalog.urls')),
    path('', RedirectView.as_view(url='catalog/', permanent=True)),
]

from the terminal error log I am pointed to line 24 which is:

 path('catalog/', include('catalog.urls')),
2

Please post the complete traceback you are getting. We need to know what the full error message is that you are receiving.

If you are trying to run runserver immediately after the startapp command, you’re missing a whole bunch of steps from that tutorial. There are a whole sequence of things that you need to do before you can run runserver. The tutorial does not show you running runserver at that point.

Okay. Let e go back. Thank you

What does the tutorial tell you to do with the urls.py file before running makemigrations?

And what command does it tell you to run after makemigrations?

8

I should run migrate.

Correct. And you need to do the step before this one, where you create the urls.py file for the catalog app.

@KenWhitesell thank you for your patience. In my limited view I think I have created the catalog/urls.py file. Where I think the problem is…is that I have to run makemigrations before I run migrate. The error/ traceback occurs when I run makemigrations. Thus I cannot run migrate. I am still trying to figure out where I am missing a step and what that missing step is.

Please post the complete contents of the catalog/urls.py file you have created.

Hi Ken. Thank you for your understanding. I checked over my code and I think maybe I did not save the catalog/urls.py file. I saved it and ran makemigrations. I got no changes detected. I ran migrate and got
