There's nothing particularly fancy about my admin setup (no over-ridden templates or anything, so far as I recall). My own views work fine, so far as I've checked. If this is not generally recreatable let me know what info would be most helpful to track it down.

Just a note, since you can't see the debug page highlighting in the ticket, it the {% url django-admindocs-docroot as docsroot %} on line 25 that is highlighted. I do have admindocs in my INSTALLED_APPS and documentation was working as of yesterday. Removing it from INSTALLED_APPS and its urlpattern ((r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),) from urls.py, though, doesn't appear to change anything, I still get the error on any attempt to access an admin page.

I upgraded to r8760 today and all hell broke loose with reversing my own views. Fixing one line in regex_helper seems to do the trick, and should hopefully fix this one too.

#8726 might be related to this, although the exception is different.

I can reproduce this problem (in my own views/templates), and the attached patch fixes it for me.

comment:7 by Carl Meyer, 16 years ago

I've tracked this problem down to the use of an empty regex in a URLConf. This is useful in order to include an application's urls with no prefix; i.e. something like this at the end of a urlpatterns:

url(r'', include('some_app.urls'))

Based on this, I think the attached patch is the correct fix. The first call to next() will raise StopIteration if the pattern is zero-length, so it needs to be within the try block.

Hello,

I get the exact same Template Error with 1.0 RC1. Is that normal (fix not in RC1)?

Since it blocked any use of the admin, I hacked the admin/base.html template, removing the whole link to the documentation.

comment:11 by Jacob, 16 years ago

FlorentV: can you please post your whole error? Make sure to use the "show copy/paste error" button, and paste the error between {{{ and }}} (three braces) so that Trac displays it OK.

comment:12 by FlorentV, 16 years ago

jacob: my bad, it was just a problem with a bad urlconf. I had a reference to a view that didn't “exist” since it was in an app I had commented out in INSTALLED_APPS. So basically it was the same problem as in this ticket: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8854

Of course it's not a bug, just a mistake on my part. But it's too bad the error I got was a not-so-helpful template error. If a reference to a non-existing view in urlconf breaks some important feature of the framework, maybe Django should catch this error earlier on and display a specific error?

Hi,
I get this same error. It appears very sporadic. When I'm in the admin page if I hit refresh it comes up. My stack trace is identical to the previuse users.

I looked in my regex_helper.py and it already seems to have the fix in place

try:

ch, escaped = pattern_iter.next()

except StopIteration:

return zip([], [[]])

I do have a

(r'$', '/index.html'),

in my urls.py

other than that nothing fancy.

Perhaps you have not defined a view that is referenced in your URLconf. Please take your issue to the django-users list.

comment:15 by anibal, 15 years ago

I got this problem today with django-svn. I found that the error only appear when my database is empty, after insert some users and the fixture of my main app the error goes away. Weird.
