I think in step 4 of this exercise the hint forgets the include() function in the URLconf, or possibly I was just supposed to know to add it.
Original hint that did not work:
Include the vetoffice URLconf by adding path('', 'vetoffice.urls') to the urlpatterns in djangovet/djangovet/urls.py
Change to make the solution work:
Include the vetoffice URLconf by adding path('', *INCLUDE*('vetoffice.urls')) to the urlpatterns in djangovet/djangovet/urls.py .
This module wasn’t very straight forward. When I got to the last question it wasn’t clear what the difference between the two urls.py files was. I get the first but didn’t conceptually grasp how the parent urls.py file connects to the main.html. I understand now, with the ‘include’ designation that we are essentially connecting the two.
Was having issues seeing the change upon running the server. I couldn’t find the admin or the home page and nothing loaded even after the successful completion of the exercise.
update: needed to add 0.0.0.0:4001 to the end of the ‘runserver’ command. Works now. Really want to understand these elements better.
When I go to http://localhost:4001/home I am still greeted with the welcome text. What’s the point of route parameter in vetoffice urls.py file?
Edit: Ok, I guess we have to do it twice because we want ‘apps’ to be independent so that we could import vetoffice to another project but still question remains - why route parameter is ‘ignored’ in vetoffice urls.py?
I got to the end of this lesson and tried to run the server with python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:4001. However I am getting what seems to be a database error:
return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query)
django.db.utils.DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed
Did i do something wrong in my code? I followed the steps correctly in the lesson. Here is my urls.py in my vetoffice directory:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('',views.home),
]
and then here is my urls.py in the main djangovet directory:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('vetoffice.urls'))
]
Am I doing something wrong? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance! Happy coding
