NoReverseMatch following v1.9 to v1.10 upgrade

Question

I\'ve just upgraded to django v1.10 and I\'m running through tests to check everything works fine but I\'ve getting Reverse for \'django.contrib.auth.views.login\' wit

Answer 1

From Django 1.10 release notes:

The ability to reverse() URLs using a dotted Python path is removed.

The url template tag uses reverse(). Thus this is not valid anymore:

{% url 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' %}

You must use the route name.

See Django 1.8 release notes for details.
