In Django 1.9 (and Python 3.4) the default of APPEND_SLASH worked correctly, i.e. I could enter 'localhost:8000/ideatree/videos' and the trailing slash would be added.
After an upgrade to Django 1.11 (and Python 3.6), APPEND_SLASH is no longer working.
I've looked for deprecation notices but so far found nothing that seems to apply. (side question: how do you turn 'loud deprecation warnings' back on, as they were in previous versions?)
Here is my main urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [ url(r'^(?i)ideatree/', include('ideatree.urls'),
name='home'),
]
and the urls.py from the included app_space:
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
app_name = 'ideatree'
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index,name='index'),
url(r'^(?i)features/$', views.features, name='features'),
url(r'^(?i)videos/$', views.videos, name='videos')
]
Both these url.py files are unchanged except that in Django 1.9 I had
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
in the main urls.py, but 'patterns' is now deprecated and throws a warning.
As before, I do not have APPEND_SLASH set in settings.py, relying on its default value of True, though I tried explicitly setting it to True with the same result.
Here's my middleware:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]
Here's the error:
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/ideatree/videos
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^(?i)ideatree/ ^$ [name='index']
^(?i)ideatree/ ^(?i)features/$ [name='features']
^(?i)ideatree/ videos/$ [name='videos']
I also tried clearing the browser cache, and using a different browser in case the cache still didn't get cleared.
Logging to file at level DEBUG or level INFO shows nothing, an empty file (warning: my logging setup is untested).
There's got to be something I'm overlooking.
