reverse() function does not work in the middleware

[stalker@…]

urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    #(r'^comments/', include('comments.urls')),
    .....
    url(r'^index.html$', 'root.views.ShowRoot'),
    url(r'^$', 'root.views.ShowRoot', name='index'),
    #-----------------------------------------
)

Middleware:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

class AddSomeJS(object):
  def process_request(self, Request):
    print('=>{}'.format(reverse('index')))

  def process_response(self, Request, Response):
    print('=>{}'.format(reverse('index')))
    return Response

In process_request reverse works properly. But in the process_response we get error:

ImproperlyConfigured at /admin/articles/article4dealers/4/

The included urlconf urls doesn't have any patterns in it

The finally clause that does urlresolvers.set_urlconf(None) to "Reset URLconf for this thread on the way out for complete isolation of request.urlconf" happens before response middleware is applied. "on the way out" is a bit later in the code (at least now) than where that finally clause is placed. Seems that reset should be done after the response middleware has been applied.

Cannot reproduce

I am sorry, but what You can't reproduce?

[Piotr Banaszkiewicz]

With Django 1.4a I am unable to reproduce your error. To be exact here are some lines from ./manage.py runserver output:

=>/ in
=>/ out
[04/Feb/2012 12:58:43] "GET /admin/auth/group/ HTTP/1.1" 200 3253
=>/ in
=>/ out

I used almost the same as yours code, and my urls.py is:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^$', 'asdf.views.index', name="index"),
)
