Router not displaying correct URL in Django RestFramework?

Question

This is how I defined urls.py file of my app


router = DefaultRouter()
router.register('hello-viewset', views.HelloViewSet, base_name='hello-viewset')
router.register('profiles', views.UserProfileViewSet)
router.register('schema', views.SchemaViewSet)
router.register('creddefination', views.CredDefViewSet)
router.register('overalltable', views.OverallViewSet)



urlpatterns = [

    path('', include(router.urls)),
]

urls.py of Project:

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('api/', include('DIAPI.urls')),

]

I am not getting correct address for creddefination. But when i manually go to http://127.0.0.1:7000/api/creddefination/ it is working. It is just not displaying correctly. What might be reason for this

what does "not displaying correctly" mean ? Traceback ? empty list ? results with unexpected fields/values ? — Linovia

as you can see in the image attached, in creddefination it is showing different address. When i comment out the part for overalltable, It is displaying correctly in UI. — yatharth meena

I guess views.CredDefViewSet and views.OverallViewSet are using the same model.

If that's true, then the default register's basename will be named after that model and used as name in a call to Django's reverse url construction. Since the API Root view will be trying to resolve both views with the same name, it'll lead to the same url.

Workaround is to explicitly add a basename to one of the view:

router.register('creddefination', views.CredDefViewSet, basename='creddeef')

yes, they are both using the same model. I will try this in morning.
