Trying to trace a circular import error in Django

Question

I understand circular import error has been asked about a lot but after going through these questions I haven\'t been able to solve my issue. When I try to run my server in Djan

Answer 1

In my case i was getting this error because i was typing urlpatterns in urls.py to urlpattern.

Answer 2

this error basically occurs when you have, include the app in the main urls.py file and haven't declared urlpattern= [] in-app file.

Answer 3

Try changing

urlpatterns = [
     url(r'^accounts/', include('accounts_app')),
] 

to

urlpatterns = [
     url(r'^accounts/', include('accounts_app.urls')), # add .urls after app name
]

Answer 4

In my case, I got this error because I called the reverse function for a url that required a slug parameter without placing the correct parameter in it.

Once I fixed the reverse function, it was resolved.

Answer 5

for those who have the same error but still hasn't debugged their code, also check how you typed "urlpatterns"

having it mistyped or with dash/underscore will result to the same error

Answer 6

In my case, I was getting

/SLMS_APP1/urls.py'>' does not appear to have any patterns in it. If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import.

I made a typo in 'urlpatter'

urlpatter = [ path('',views.index, name='index'),

]

where in correct spelling has to be 'urlpatterns'

urlpatterns = [ path('',views.profile, name='profile'),

]
