Getting NoReverseMatch Error

I have an app that is going to display some information about people in my group. I'm getting a NoReverseMatch error when trying to use the url tag in my index.html. If I do not use the url tag, but specify the root, I do not receive the error.
The error says:
NoReverseMatch at /
Reverse for 'specialist' with arguments '(1,)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['$(?P[0-9]+)/']
Here is are the urls.py files.
From the main wi_tech urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', include('person.urls')),
url(r'^tech/', include('person.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
From the 'person' app urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
app_name = 'person'
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.DetailView.as_view(), name='specialist'),
]
My views.py file looks like this:
from django.views import generic
from .models import Specialist
class IndexView(generic.ListView):
template_name = 'person/index.html'
context_object_name = 'person_list'
def get_queryset(self):
"""Return all specialists"""
return Specialist.objects.order_by('id')
class DetailView(generic.DetailView):
model = Specialist
template_name = 'person/detail.html'
And my index.html page looks like this:
{% if person_list %}
<ul>
{% for specialist in person_list %}
<li> {{ specialist }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>No specialists are available.</p>
{% endif %}
If I change my tag in index.html to this, it works:
<li> {{ specialist }}</li>
Obviously this isn't an ideal situation in case the web root ever changes. I've reviewed a lot of SO questions on this, and nothing seems to match. I think the issue is the "$" in the beginning of the regex, but I don't see where that's coming from.
Specifically, I used this link as a really good reference point, but came up empty looking through my code.
what is NoReverseMatch and how do i fix it
Clearly there's something I'm missing.

Could it be the additional / at the end of the URL?
url(r'^(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.DetailView.as_view(), name='specialist')
The one after your primary key modifier. When you click the URL (with the (% url ':' model.name %)) what URL comes up in your browser?

I ended up scrapping this implementation, and going with a flatter structure whereby all models, views and templates are in the same application. I have not had this problem in the new design.

No Reverse Match with Django Auth Views

I created a custom User model following the example in the Django documentation, now I'm trying to use Django auth views but I keep getting NoReverseMatch at /accounts/login/
Reverse for 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: []
This is the url conf:
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^accounts/login/$', auth_views.login, {'template_name': 'login.html',
'authentication_form': LoginForm}),
url(r'^logout/$', auth_views.logout, {'next_page': '/accounts/login'}),
url(r'^$', home, name="home"),
]
And I have this line in my template:
<form method="post" action="{% url 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' %}">

{% url 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' %}
This is incorrect. We put the name given to the url here instead of the location of the view.
Please see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/templates/builtins/#url. You need to provide a name for login like you have for home and then use that.
Correct way is:
urls.py ->
url(r'^accounts/login/$', auth_views.login, {'template_name': 'login.html','authentication_form': LoginForm}, name="login") ,
template ->
<form method="post" action="{% url 'login' %}">

Django Error passing URL argument from Template to View: NoReverseMatch Reverse not found. 1 pattern(s) tried

I am trying to pass configure a URL like so:
/details/12345
Template HTML:
<div class="row">
{% if article_list %}
{% for article in article_list %}
<div>
<h2>{{ article.title }}</h2>
<p>{{ article.body }}</p>
<p><a class="btn btn-default" href="{% url 'details' article.id %}" role="button">View details »</a></p>
</div><!--/.col-xs-6.col-lg-4-->
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
</div><!--/row-->

print(article.id)
context = {
"title": title,
"article_list": article_list,
}
return render(request, "home.html", context)
def details(request, article_id = "1"):
article = Article.objects.get(id=article_id)
return render(request, "details.html", {'article': article})
I am getting an error that says:
NoReverseMatch at /
Reverse for 'details' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}'
not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['details/(?P<article_id>\\d+)/$']
I'm one week old at Django, and I think there's something wrong with my URL Named Group config. Please help! TIA!
Update: If I remove the URL config and change it back to:
url(r'^details/$', 'news_readr.views.details', name='details'),
The error changes to:
Reverse for 'details' with arguments '(1,)' and keyword arguments '{}'
not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['details/$']
So it seems to be picking up the argument that is passed 1 in this case. So this seems to be an issue with the regular expression. I tried the expression out at Pythex, but even there, the expression doesn't seem to be matching anything.

For the url pattern
url(r'^details/(?P<article_id>\d+)/$', 'news_readr.views.details', name='details'),
The correct way to use the tag is
{% url 'details' article.id %}
This because the details url pattern has a group article_id, so you have to pass this to the tag.
If you have the above url pattern, and {{ article.id}} displays correctly in the template, then the above template tag should not give the error Reverse for 'details' with arguments '()'. That suggests you have not updated the code, or you have not restarted the server after changing code.
If you change the url pattern to
url(r'^details/$', 'news_readr.views.details', name='details')
then you need to remove the article.id from the url tag.
{% url 'details' %}

I guess your pattern is wrong.( not an expert of regex ).
Try this
url(r'^details/((?P<article_id>[0-9]+)/$', 'news_readr.views.details', name='details'),

NoReverseMatch in Django (url ploblem)

I'm a beginner of Django
I want to set my url with database field_name instead of use primary key from Django tutorial. This is my code.
*mysite*
**dwru/urls.py**
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', include('product.urls', namespace="product")),
]
*myapp*
**product/urls.py**
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^(?P<name_catalog>[-_\w]+)/$', views.product_list_from_index, name='catalog'),
]
**product/views.py**
def product_list_from_index(request, name_catalog):
catalog = get_object_or_404(Catalog, name_catalog=name_catalog)
context = {
'catalog': catalog
}
return render(request,'product/product_list.html', context)
**product/models.py**
class Catalog(models.Model):
name_catalog = models.CharField(max_length=45)
product = models.ManyToManyField(Product)
**template/product/index.html**
{% for catalog in catalog_list %}
<h1><a href="{% url 'product:catalog' catalog.name_catalog %}">{{ catalog.name_catalog }}</h1>
{% endfor %}
Then I add Catalog field with "TestCa01" then it shown an error
NoReverseMatch at /
Reverse for 'catalog' with arguments '(u'TestCa01',)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: [u'$(?P<name_catalog>[-_\\w]+)/$']
it kind of some problem with this line in template
{% url 'product:catalog' catalog.name_catalog %}
any Idea?

The $ in your first url pattern might be the issue. The dollar sign indicates that it's the the end of the pattern, so it would never bother to include/check the product urls. Is the index url working?

NoReverseMatch pattern not found

Having trouble figuring out why I keep getting the NoReverseMatch.
app/url.py
from django.conf.urls import url, patterns
from . import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),
url(r'^(?P<contact_id>\d+)/detail/$', views.details, name='details'),
)
views.py
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.http import Http404
from django.views import generic
from django.template import RequestContext, loader
from .models import Person
# Create your views here.
class IndexView(generic.ListView):
template_name = 'ContactManager/index.html'
context_object_name = 'contact_list'
def get_queryset(self):
return Person.objects.order_by('lname')
def details(request, contact_id):
contact = get_object_or_404(Person, id=contact_id)
return render(request, 'ContactManager/details.html', {'contact': contact})
# class DetailView(generic.ListView):
# model = Person
# context_object_name = 'contact'
# template_name = 'ContactManager/details.html'
#
# def get_queryset(self):
#
template index.html
{% if contact_list %}
<ul>
{% for contact in contact_list %}
<li>
{{ contact.fname }} {{ contact.lname }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>You don't have any contacts currently.</p>
{% endif %}
The error I am getting:
Reverse for 'details' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{'contact_id': 1}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['$(?P<contact_id>\\d+)/detail/$']
I have tried using generic views and a host of arguments in the {% url ... %}
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think that details url pattern has a mistake, in error message appears one tried pattern, started and ended by $ sign:
1 pattern(s) tried: ['$(?P\d+)/detail/$']
check your pattern that is equal to or no:
^(?P<contact_id>\\d+)/detail/$
if this is correct check your urls file that included contact urls and if is similar below:
url('^$', include(ContactManager.urls, namespace='contact'))
remove $ sign at end of prefix-pattern:
url('^', include(ContactManager.urls, namespace='contact'))

Note that this error can also arise if you do not define name in your urlpatterns.
Doing something like
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^error_containing_view/$', views.error_containing_view, name='error_containing_view'),
]
in your app's urls.py would fix the error.
