Django namespaced reverse not working in test environment

[atkawa7]

I am have the following error when testing an app

ERROR: test_registration (accounts.tests.test_models.AccountTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'registration' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: []

Here is my urls.py

   urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^accounts/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
    url(r'^api/v1/accounts/login/', obtain_auth_token, name='obtain_auth_token'),
    url(r'^api/v1/accounts/', include('accounts.urls', namespace='accounts')),
    url(r'', include('app.urls', namespace='app')),
]

here is my example test

from rest_framework import test, status

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse, reverse_lazy
from django.contrib.auth.models import User


class AccountTestCase(test.APITestCase):

    def test_registration(self):
        url = reverse_lazy('registration', current_app='accounts')
        user = {
            'username': 'John',
            'first_name': 'John',
            'last_name': 'Doe',
            'password': 'johnDoe12345*#$',
            'email': 'johndoe@example.com'
        }
        user2 = {
            'username': 'John2',
            'first_name': 'John',
            'last_name': 'Doe',
            'password': 'johnDoe12345*#$',
            'email': 'johndoe@example.com'
        }
        user3 = {
            'username': 'John2',
            'first_name': 'John',
            'last_name': 'Doe',
            'email': 'johndoe@example.com'
        }
        user4 = {
            'username': 'John4',
            'first_name': 'John',
            'last_name': 'Doe',
            'email': 'johndoe@example.com',
            'password': 'johnDoe12345*#$',
            'is_staff': True,
            'is_superuser': True
        }
        response = self.client.post(
            url, user, format='json')

However when I change urls.py to

   urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^accounts/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
    url(r'^api/v1/accounts/login/', obtain_auth_token, name='obtain_auth_token'),
    url(r'^api/v1/accounts/', include('accounts.urls')),
    url(r'', include('app.urls', namespace='app')),
]

It works fine.
