[FIXED] NoReverseMatch Django Rest Framework

Issue

In Django I have a class based view:

class ApiRoot(APIView):
  def get(request, format=None):
    return Response({
      'users': reverse('user-list', request=request, format=format),
      #'snippets': reverse('snippet-list', request=request, format=format)
    })  

and the following url patterns in urls.py

urlpatterns = format_suffix_patterns([
    url(r'^$', views.ApiRoot.as_view(), name='api-root'),
    url(r'^snippets/$', views.SnippetList.as_view(), name='snippet-list'),
    url(r'^snippets/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.SnippetDetail.as_view(), name='snippet-detail'),
    url(r'^users/$', views.UserList.as_view(), name='user-list'),
    url(r'^users/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.UserDetail.as_view(), name='user-detail'),
])
urlpatterns += [
    url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls',
                           namespace='rest_framework')),

I think I wired up things properly but I get the following error:

NoReverseMatch at /
Reverse for 'user-list' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{u'format': <rest_framework.request.Request object at 0x7f99998c4c50>}' not found. 2 pattern(s) tried: [u'users\\.(?P<format>[a-z0-9]+)/?$', 'users/$']

Any Idea why?

thanks

Solution

You should reverse the url as reverse('user-list'). That should solve your issue.
