Django: Generic detail view must be called with either an object pk or a slug

Question

Getting this error when submitting the form associated with this view. Not sure what exactly is the problem, considering I have a form with a very similar structure and it works

Answer 1

Hey all I used the new path() function and here is my working example that I'm sure will help:

views.py:

from django.views.generic.detail import DetailView

class ContentAmpView(DetailView):

    model = Content
    template_name = 'content_amp.html'  # Defaults to content_detail.html

urls.py:

from django.urls import path

from .views import ContentAmpView

# My pk is a string so using a slug converter here intead of int
urlpatterns = [
    path('/amp', ContentAmpView.as_view(), name='content-amp'),
]

templates/content_amp.html

    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    


Welcome to AMP - {{ object.pk }}
{{ object.titles.main }}
Reporter: {{ object.reporter }}
Date: {{ object.created_at|date }}

Also note that in my settings.py, under TEMPLATES, I have 'APP_DIRS': True. More on path here.
