Comment (by cmwslw):
This bug is still present. It's not a duplicate of either of the above
mentioned cases (#10747, #10976).
The same exact problem is happening for me using auth and django-
registration. It doesn't matter whether I reference the URL using the view
or it's name. The problem lies with the fact that the tests for both
django.contrib.auth and django-registration set their
[http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/#django.test.TestCase.urls
TestCase.urls] setting to override the default URLConf. This problem can
be resolved by concatenating the test URL patterns and your root URL
patterns. This is an unfeasible solution because it requires modifying the
source code. As far as I know, this is the only real solution.
After googling for hours, I've only found two references to this problem
besides this ticket:
[http://www.mail-archive.com/django-us...@googlegroups.com/msg78709.html]
[http://recurser.com/articles/2009/11/10/noreversematch-custom-
registration-templates-break-django-unit-tests/]
The only solution they mention is using something like:
{{{
{% url home.views.index as index %}{{ index }}
}}}
instead of:
{{{
{% url home.views.index}
}}}
Although this workaround does not require a source code modification to
auth or django-registration, it sucks bad because all reversing errors are
suppressed whether or not it's during a test. I don't really see the point
of testing if things like that need to be done.
Apparently not many people use the test suite because this bug will affect
anyone testing with a reverse() or 'url' tag in their template.
Possible solution:
If a
[http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/#django.test.TestCase.urls
TestCase.urls] attribute '''is''' set, combine it with the ROOT_URLCONF
instead of overwriting it. This could be an optional or default feature.
