How to fix error testing Authentication user?

Question

I'm learning Drf, I'm figuring out to Athuenticate user login Testapi in Drf, it showing error Not valid view function or pattern name. Can Anyone suggest what is wrong with the code?

URLS.PY

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('college.urls')),
    path('auth',include('rest_framework.urls'), name='rest_framework'),


]

TEST.PY

USER_URL = reverse('auth')
class StudentsDetailsTestCase(APITestCase):

    def test_login_user(self):
        self.assertTrue(self.client.login(username='***', 
                        password='***'))
        response = self.client.get(USER_URL)
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code,status.HTTP_200_OK)

Answer 1

you need to use it with rest_framework because of this line path('auth',include('rest_framework.urls'), name='rest_framework'),

you can update reverse by reverse(rest_framework) or you can change line to path('auth',include('rest_framework.urls'), name='auth'),
