Python Django function got multiple values for argument-CodePudding

I am trying to call a function to print a receipt using Django in an html file. The function has 1 variable print_order_receipt(number) where the number is the order number fetched from Shopify API. This is the HTML code I did:

path('print/<int:number>/', views.print_order_receipt, name="print")

And this is the function:

def print_order_receipt(number):
order = Order.objects.get(number=number)
printer = Network("192.168.1.100")
printer.text('**********************************************\n')
printer.text('LNKO vous remercie!\n')
printer.text('**********************************************\n')
printer.text('\n')
printer.text('\n')
printer.text('Commande Numero: ')
printer.text(order.number)
printer.text('\n')
printer.text('\n')
printer.text('Montant total a payer: ')
printer.text(order.totalprice   " MAD")
printer.text('\n')
printer.text('Dont taxes: ')
printer.text(order.tax   " MAD")
printer.text('\n')
printer.text('Client: ')
printer.text(order.clientfname   ' '   order.clientlname)
printer.text('\n')
printer.text('Une facture detaillee a ete envoyee a:\n')
printer.text(order.clientemail)
printer.barcode(order, 'EAN13', 64, 2, '', '')
printer.qr("You can readme from your smartphone")
printer.cut()

And these are the 2 HTML versions I tried, both are not working:

<td><a href="/print/{{ number }}">Imprimer</a></td>

<td><a href="{% url 'print' {{ number }} %}">Imprimer</a></td>

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here! Here is the Traceback error:

Exception Value: print_order_receipt() got multiple values for argument 'number'

CodePudding user response：

The first parameter of a function-based view is always the request, so:

def print_order_receipt(request, number):
    # …

Django will make a call like printer_order_receipt(request, number=12500). If your first parameter is number then both request and number=12500 will try to set the value for the number parameter hence the error.

If you use a django template tag, then you should not write variables between curly brackets, you write the URL as:

<td><a href="{% url 'print' number %}">Imprimer</a></td>

or:

<td><a href="{% url 'print' number=number %}">Imprimer</a></td>
