hello_world() missing 1 required positional argument: 'request'

Question

Please assist figuring out solution to this error.

courses/ views.py

   from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render

from .models import Course

def course_list(request):
    courses = Course.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'courses/course_list.html',{'courses':courses})

admin/ views.py

from django.shortcuts import render

def hello_world(request):
    return render(request, 'home.html')

admin urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from courses import views
from django.conf.urls import include
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('admin/', views.hello_world()),
    path('courses/', include('courses.urls')),
    path('courses/', views.course_list(), name='listofcourses'),
]

courses/ urls.py

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns=[
path('',views.course_list, name="listofcourses"),
]

Now on running server, i am getting this error

hello_world() missing 1 required positional argument: 'request'

I wish to publish homepage on running server at 127.0.0.1:8000 and courses page on 127.0.0.1:8000/courses

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

You are calling(executing) the views in urls , which shouldn't do. You can do it like this:

path('hello-world/', views.hello_world),   # don't use 'admin/' because you already have url configured against this path.
