My action button is causing 404 not found-CodePudding

Here is my Base.html

      <div >
    <div >

         <form action='simple_test'> 
      <button id="simple_test" >  Generate</button>
         </form>
   </div>
     </div>

Here is my View.py

from django.http import HttpResponse 
from django.shortcuts import render
from datetime import datetime
from django.template import loader
from django.core.files import File
from .unun import some_func
import random
import os

def index(request):
    strinput = {}
    glued, oldgued = some_func()
    strinput['IntPassHMTL'] = 433
    strinput['StrPassHMTL'] = glued
    strinput['BeforeGlued'] = oldgued

    return render(request,'index.html', strinput )


def simple_test(request):
    strinput = {}
    # glued, oldgued = some_func()
    strinput['IntPassHMTL'] = 433
    strinput['StrPassHMTL'] = "glued"
    strinput['BeforeGlued'] = "oldgued"
    print("Words?")
    return HttpResponse("This is a fake 404!")

Here is my urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    print("simple_test", views.simple_test),
    path('', views.index, name="index"),

]

I tried to apply these solutions to my codes and they still do not work right for me. Not sure what I am missing.

CodePudding user response：

Try adding / after your URL it should work.

'''

    urlpatterns = [
        path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
        print("simple_test/", views.simple_test),
        path('', views.index, name="index"),
    ]

'''

CodePudding user response：

Instead of path you have put print, so you haven't actually added the URL to your urlpatterns list! Try this:

    urlpatterns = [
        path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
        path("simple_test/", views.simple_test),
        path('', views.index, name="index"),
    ]

The forward slash is only mandatory if you set APPEND_SLASH = True in your settings.py file.
