I'm working on my project for a course and I'm totally stuck right now. I'm creating a website to sell products through paypal and the paypal return/cancel pages are not rendering properly. I've followed the examples in my lessons and checked the code a hundred times but obviously there is something I'm missing.
I'm getting an error when I go to products, click buy now, login to paypal and then either cancel the purchase or buy the product and return to merchant's page. paypal_return.html and paypal_cancel.html are 2 templates saved under templates/paypal/
Can anybody see what I'm missing?

Exception Type: NoReverseMatch at /paypal-cancel/
Exception Value: Reverse for '' not found. '' is not a valid view function or pattern name.
When you use the url tag you should use quotes for string literals, for example:
{% url 'products' %}
At the moment product
is treated like a variable and evaluates to ''
in the error message.
{% url namespace:url_name %}
. So, check if you have added the app_name
in urls.py.path('<int:question_id>/', views.detail, name='question_detail')
whereas the index.html file had the following entry <li><a href="{% url 'polls:detail' question.id %}">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>
. Notice the incorrect name.I was receiving the same error when not specifying the app
name before pattern name.
In my case:
app-name
: Blog
pattern-name
: post-delete
reverse_lazy('Blog:post-delete')
worked.
