unable to obtain auth template password_reset_done when using namespaced urls

[James Miller]

Hi,

Whilst setting up a users app, I found that if I namespaced my urls, ie :

    <django_users_app/urls.py>
    app_name = 'django_users_app'
    urlpatterns = [
        path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
	path('login/', UserLoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
        path('dashboard/', DashboardView.as_view(), name='dashboard'),
        path('register/', RegisterView.as_view(), name='register'),
        path('profile/', ProfileView.as_view(), name='profile')
    ]

Then when I completed a password reset accessed from a link on the login page, the server crapped out and informed me that:

Reverse for 'password_reset_done' not found. 'password_reset_done' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

All my other password reset views work though.

I discovered that in django.contrib.auth.views the class PasswordResetView(PasswordContextMixin, FormView): has a success_url of:

reverse_lazy('password_reset_done')

When I edit the code and replace the above with reverse_lazy('django_users_app:password_reset_done') the correct template is returned.

If I do not edit the code, but instead remove the namespace and its reference in all my files, then the correct template is returned.

I want to know if it is possible to use a namespace with a users app that references the contrib.auth password reset templates.

There is conflicting information on the internet regarding this issue and no clear indication that I can see in the django docs.

Also, in my settings file, I have the following setting defined:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'

Yet when I use reset the password, I do not see any email sent. I don't know if this is a related error.

Below is the traceback information from the page when password_reset_done cannot be found:
