I am trying to click on a specific ingredient on my website which triggers an updateview. I get this 404 error which is included in my discord paste.
error message
The current path, ingredients/“/ingredient/update/3”, didn’t match any of these.
Why are empty strings involved? My urls nor my views call for this.
I have attempted to use chat GPT but it cannot explain it.
Based on the error message I need to supply a path that would give logic for
The current path, ingredients/“/ingredient/update/3”,
the url tied to this log is
path('ingredient/update/<int:pk>',views.UpdateIngredientView.as_view(success_url = "/ingredients/"), name='ingredientupdate'),
with a view of
class UpdateIngredientView(UpdateView): # I am thinking this is an UpdateView
model = Ingredient
template_name = "update_ingredient_view.html"
fields = ["quantity", "price_per_unit"]
my url never called for empty strings but its being supplied. has anyone run into this issue before?
Using the URLconf defined in djangodelights.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
[name='default']
admin/
finance/ [name='finance']
home/ [name='home']
ingredients/ [name='ingredients']
menu/ [name='menu']
purchases/ [name='purchases']
menu/add/ [name='menuadd']
ingredients/add/ [name='ingredientadd']
ingredient/update/<int:pk> [name='ingredientupdate']
recipe/add/ [name='recipeadd']
purchases/add/ [name='purchaseadd']
update/inventory/<int:pk>/ [name='updateinventory']
The current path, ingredients/“/ingredient/update/3”, didn’t match any of these.
