Reverse for 'update_profile_picture' not found

Using Django Mystery Errors
1

I am getting the following error in my Django blog app project "‘Exception Type: NoReverseMatch at /
Exception Value: Reverse for ‘update_profile_picture’ not found. ‘update_profile_picture’ is not a valid view function or pattern name.
"’. Here is the error line "'<a class="navbar-brand p-3 {% if request.path == request.user.get_absolute_url %}active{% endif %}" href="{{ request.user.get_absolute_url }}">Update Profile Picture</a>"'. Can someone please assist?

Couple different notes here.

When posting code or templates, a single line or partial line of code can be enclosed by single backtick characters - ` to ensure the forum software doesn’t try to interpret it.

We’re going to need to see more of this template - especially any tags containing the string update_profile_picture. We’ll also need to see the view that is causing this error, and your urls.py definition that contains a named entry for update_profile_picture.

Here are the codes;

# models.py 
class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
    profile_picture = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_pictures/', blank=True, null=True)

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('update_profile_picture'), 

#views.py 
@login_required
def update_profile_picture(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ProfilePictureForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=request.user)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('profile')  # Redirect to the profile page
    else:
        form = ProfilePictureForm(instance=request.user)
    return render(request, 'update_profile_picture.html', {'form': form}),

#url.py 
path('update-profile-picture/', views.update_profile_picture, name='update_profile_picture'),

# update_profile_picture.html
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>

# base.html
<a class="navbar-brand p-3 {% if request.path == request.user.get_absolute_url %}active{% endif %}" href="{{ request.user.get_absolute_url }}">Update Profile Picture</a>

# admin.py 
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Post, Attachment
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

CustomUser = get_user_model()

class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('title', 'content', 'date_created', 'slug', 'author_username', 'status')

    def author_username(self, obj):
        return obj.author.username

    author_username.short_description = 'Author Username'

admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin)
admin.site.register(Attachment)

# settings.py
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'blog.CustomUser'

Side note #1: Generally speaking, you want your get_absolute_url to identify a particular instance of the model. Reversing a static url is going to generate the same url for everyone. See the docs and examples at get_absolute_url

Side note #2: When fencing off blocks of code, you use three backtick - ` characters on lines by themselves. (They can’t be parts of existing lines.) This means you’ll have a line of ```, then the code for a file, then another line of ```. (I’ve taken the liberty of fixing this post for you.)

Please post the complete error message you are receiving, along with the traceback.

    You posted this snippet above showing this definition for the url:

    #url.py 
path('update-profile-picture/', views.update_profile_picture, name='update_profile_picture'),

    Do you have an app_name setting in this urls.py file?

    Is this from your root urls.py file, or from a urls.py file in your blogs app?

    If it’s in your blogs app, are you including this urls.py file in your root urls.py file?

    (It might be easier at this point if you posted both complete urls.py files.)

    7

    Here are thye urls.py files

    # root urls.py 
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView
from django.contrib.staticfiles.storage import staticfiles_storage 
from blog import urls as blog_urls

from accounts import urls as accounts_urls

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include(blog_urls)),  
    path('translator/', include(translator_urls)),    
    path('accounts/', include(accounts_urls)),   
]

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

    # blog urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import view

app_name = 'blog'
urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index_view, name='index_view'),
    path('base_view/', views.base_view, name = 'base_view'),
    #URL pattern for the list of posts
    path('posts/', views.post_list, name='post_list'),
    # URL pattern for viewing a single post
    path('post/<slug:slug>/', views.post_detail, name='post_detail'),    
    path('template_list/', views.template_list, name='template_list'),
    path('create/', views.create_post, name='create_post'),
    path('<slug:slug>/edit/', views.post_edit, name='post_edit'), 
    # last edited urls by addind views
    path('post/<int:pk>/delete/', views.PostDeleteView.as_view(), name='post_delete'),
    path('my-view/', views.my_view, name='my_view'),
    path('update-profile-picture/', views.update_profile_picture, name='update_profile_picture'),
]

    Side note: The ``` must be lines by themselves. They can’t be parts of other lines.

    So, this:

    defines a namespace for these URLs.

    That means you need to reference these URLs specifying that namespace.

    In this case, then it would be blog:update_profile_picture.

    9

    Do you mean ‘blog:update_profile_picture’ in the views function?

    10

    This applies at any point where you’re trying to use it in a reverse type situation. This includes when being used in templates, models, forms, or any other code.

    11

    Thanks so much for your observations and corrections. I have been able to resolve that error by referencing the blog in the URL of the base html.

    12

    I get the following error messges if I click on the ‘Update Profile Picture’ page. " TemplateDoesNotExist at /update_profile_picture/

    Please post the complete error message with traceback, the view that is rendering this page, your TEMPLATES setting, and identify the directory containing your update_profile_picture.html.

    Please post the view that /accounts/register/ will execute.

    Side note: When posting code, templates, or error messages here, remember to enclose the code between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted.

    I think I have realized because of your response that since I have changed from the User model to the CustomUser model, I need to create views, URLs, forms and templates for the accounts app. I will do that and if I have any error, I will let you know. Thanks.

    No, that is not necessarily true. If your answer here is saying that you’re relying upon the system-provided views, then that’s ok - it just raises a different line of questions.
