For some reason self.client.get("/") return a Resolve404 error even with the LocaleMiddleware

[Rémy Hubscher]

This tests fails:

class LocaleMiddlewareTest(TestCase):

    def test_locale_middleware_redirects_to_localized_url(self):
        resp = self.client.get("/")
        self.assertRedirects(resp, "/fr/")

While this one uses the LocaleMiddleware:

class LocaleMiddlewareTest(TestCase):

    def test_locale_middleware_redirects_to_localized_url(self):
        resp = self.client.get("/home")
        self.assertRedirects(resp, "/fr/home")

You haven't given any details about how we can reproduce the issue. Please use TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels until you confirm a bug in Django.

You are too quick for me, I didn't had time to elaborate.

Initially I thought this was a bug with the Django Test Client so I landed the code but it also happened in real life.

I was planning to create a pull-request with a failing test but you closed the issue too quickly and since a pull-request need to be linked to an issue I created the issue first.

The minimum setup to reproduce is to use the LocaleMiddleware with the following urls.py file.

urlpatterns = [
     path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
]

urlpatterns += i18n_patterns(
    path("", views.index, name="index"),
)

Ok I build an app from scratch with Django master and I tried to reproduce without success so far.

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
from django.contrib import admin
from django.http import HttpResponse, Http404
from django.urls import path


def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("ok")


def handle_url(request, wordpress_url):
    raise Http404("No mapping found for {}".format(wordpress_url))


urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

urlpatterns += i18n_patterns(
    path("", index, name="index"),
)

urlpatterns += [path("<path:wordpress_url>", handle_url)]
