URL reversing not working in django when using arguments

Question

I'm really stuck with this one.

I have the following in my urlpatterns:

url(r'^user/$', UserView.as_view(), name='farmauth-user'),
url(r'^user/(?P<id>\d+)/confirm/(?P<token>\w+)/$', UserConfirmationView.as_view(), name='farmauth-confirm'),

I have other URLs too. Then in my HTML I get

Reverse for 'farmauth-confirm' with arguments '([u'28'], [u'n48DsSASbKhabWXzZ6XV'])' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.

When I do this:

{% url 'farmauth-confirm' id token %}

I also tried using positional arguments. In case you are wondering, the URLs are visible where I'm attempting this because this works:

{% url 'farmauth-user' %}

I tried other URLs with and without arguments. It never works when using arguments. What am I doing wrong??

Please advise.

That moment I spend hours trying to figure it out, as soon as I make the post I get it right -.-; When passing the arguments to my view I was doing this: return render(request, 'confirm.html', dict(self.get_form_context(), **request.GET)) It seams that GET arguments are arrays, so the token and ID where given as [id] and [token]. Now I do this: kwargs = { 'id': request.GET.get('id'), 'token': request.GET.get('token'), } return render(request, 'confirm.html', dict(self.get_form_context(), **kwargs)) And it works. — André Fratelli

Looks like you figured it out, but your url has type integer for id, but the url is evaluating id as a unicode. Hence the error. — karthikr

Just try another order:
url(r'^user/(?P\d+)/confirm/(?P\w+)/$', UserConfirmationView.as_view(), name='farmauth-confirm'),
url(r'^user/$', UserView.as_view(), name='farmauth-user'),
