Syntax error in urls.py . How to debug it?

Question

The error is this

"\t(r'ajax/lookup/^$','ajaxlookup',name='ajax_lookup'),\n"))

I have installed geonode and in that I have put ajax_select to do autocomplete. But my URLs.py is giving an error

My urls.py looks like this

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url

js_info_dict = {
    'packages': ('geonode.maps',),
}

    urlpatterns = patterns('geonode.maps.views',
        (r'^$', 'maps'),
        url(r'^new$', 'newmap', name="map_new"),
        (r'^(?P<mapid>\d+)$', 'map_controller'),
        (r'^(?P<mapid>\d+)/view$', 'view'),
        (r'^(?P<mapid>\d+)/download/$', 'map_download'),
        (r'^check/$', 'check_download'),
        (r'^embed/$', 'embed'),
        (r'^(?P<mapid>\d+)/embed$', 'embed'),
        (r'^(?P<mapid>\d+)/data$', 'mapJSON'),
        url(r'^search/?$', 'maps_search_page', name='maps_search'),
        url(r'^search/api/?$', 'maps_search', name='maps_search_api'),
        url(r'^(?P<mapid>\d+)/ajax-permissions$', 'ajax_map_permissions', name='ajax_map_permissions'),
        url(r'^change-poc/(?P<ids>\w+)$', 'change_poc', name="change_poc"),
        url(r'^search/$', 'maps_search', name='maps_search'),

    )

    urlpatterns += patterns('geonode.ajax_select.views',
        (r'ajax/lookup/^$','ajaxlookup',name='ajax_lookup'),
    )

My templates in the html file looks like this

    <script type="text/javascript">
        Ext.onReady(function(){
           {% autoescape off %}

            var searchTable = new GeoNode.MapSearchTable({
                renderTo: 'search_results',
                trackSelection: true,
                permalinkURL: '{% url ajax_lookup %}',
                searchURL: '{% url ajax_lookup %}',
                searchParams: {{init_search}}
            });
        {% endautoescape %}
    });

</script>

And my ajax_lookup looks like this

Tuples do not support keyword arguments. Convert the entry to a url() call.

Can you give us the whole syntax

Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Over a year ago

url(r'ajax/lookup/^$','ajaxlookup',name='ajax_lookup'),

After doing that I got an error saying this . Caught NoReverseMatch while rendering:

That doesn't mean my answer is wrong, that just means that you have another problem.

That might be because your regex makes little sense. Try r'^ajax/lookup$' instead?

it should be:

urlpatterns += patterns('geonode.ajax_select.views',
        (r'^ajax/lookup/$','ajaxlookup',name='ajax_lookup'),
    )

the "^" was at the end :)

While this is true, that will cause a logic error, not a syntax error.

combine the two answers -- like I said in my comment at Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams's answer below :)

How does the error look like? Is it "Caught NoReverseMatch while rendering" ?

Duncan Over a year ago

No, the "^" was pointing at the '=' sign after the word 'name'. See Ignacio's answer.

programmersbook Over a year ago

it probable doesn't like the $ an the end. Maybe the url pattern name is beeing used wrong in the template? How does it look the template? More context :)
