MongoEngine/MongoDB and Django unable to “add more urls” into urls.py

Question

So Everything works fine with my initial 5 urls in the urls.py file.

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^add/$', PostCreateView.as_view(), name='create'),
url(r'^$', PostListView.as_view(), name='list'),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[\w\d]+)/$', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='detail'),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[\w\d]+)/edit/$', PostUpdateView.as_view(), name='update'),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[\w\d]+)/delete/$', PostDeleteView.as_view(), name='delete'),
)

But when I add an extra line. Let's say

url(r'^test/$', test.as_view(), name='test'),

I am hit with a 500 Server error page and with debugging it is stating that there is a validation error?

"test is not a valid objectid"

i feel it's an issue with mongoengine but do not what or where.

Answer 1

The order of the rules matter. This rule will match test/ :

url(r'^(?P<pk>[\w\d]+)/$', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='detail'),

Define your rules like this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^add/$', PostCreateView.as_view(), name='create'),
url(r'^$', PostListView.as_view(), name='list'),
url(r'^test/$', test.as_view(), name='test'),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[\w\d]+)/$', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='detail'),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[\w\d]+)/edit/$', PostUpdateView.as_view(), name='update'),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[\w\d]+)/delete/$', PostDeleteView.as_view(), name='delete'),
)
