django-allauth returns error "Reverse ... with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found"

Question

EDIT: Kevin's answer below solved my issue. Turns out "allauth does not support namespaces" so I shouldn't have introduced this into my urls.py

ORIGINAL POST:

I have installed django-allauth exactly as per tutorials https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth

I have a very basic problem here; can't get basic user login/out pages working even before I add in social integration.

By navigating to /admin, I clicked "log out", so I am not a logged in user.

Now when I visit /accounts/login I am met with this error

NoReverseMatch at /accounts/login/
Reverse for 'account_signup' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: []
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://localhost:5000/accounts/login/
Django Version: 1.6.5
Exception Type: NoReverseMatch
Exception Value:    
Reverse for 'account_signup' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: []

Question: Do I need to modify the default allauth views.py to solve this?

In case relevant, here's the same issue when I try via shell

Having been googling for the past hour, I don't see what I'm missing. It's supposed to work out of the box, right? I see the default base.html already seems to have the line, {% load url from future %}

To confirm, here are some extracts from my main settings.py (in folder shareducate/settings.py)

I have modified shareducate/urls.py url(r'^accounts/', include('allauth.urls', namespace='allauth')), but I haven't modified anything inside the allauth folder

Note: by going to /admin, I can log in as the super user. Then sure enough, visiting /accounts/login redirected me to root /, as per settings.py And if I commented out that line, # LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/' then sure enough I would get directed to /accounts/profile/ as per http://stackoverflow.com/a/16956071/870121

Now that I am logged out though (which I achieved via the /admin interface), the allauth program doesn't seem to be able to deal with me when I visit /accounts/login

Note /allauth/templates/account/login.html looks like this... I haven't edited it at all

{% extends "account/base.html" %}

{% load i18n %}
{% load account %}
{% load url from future %}

{% block head_title %}{% trans "Sign In" %}{% endblock %}

{% block content %}

<h1>{% trans "Sign In" %}</h1>

{% if socialaccount.providers  %}
<p>{% blocktrans with site.name as site_name %}Please sign in with one

GUESS

(1)

Based on this answer http://stackoverflow.com/a/13202435/870121 I think I may have to modify line 109 in this allauth/accounts/views.py

84 class LoginView(RedirectAuthenticatedUserMixin,
 85                 AjaxCapableProcessFormViewMixin,
 86                 FormView):
 87     form_class = LoginForm
 88     template_name = "account/login.html"
 89     success_url = None
 90     redirect_field_name = "next"
 91 
 92     def get_form_class(self):
 93         return get_form_class(app_settings.FORMS, 'login', self.form_class)
 94 
 95     def form_valid(self, form):
 96         success_url = self.get_success_url()
 97         return form.login(self.request, redirect_url=success_url)
 98 
 99     def get_success_url(self):
100         # Explicitly passed ?next= URL takes precedence
101         ret = (get_next_redirect_url(self.request,
102                                      self.redirect_field_name)
103                or self.success_url)
104         return ret
105 
106     def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
107         ret = super(LoginView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
108         signup_url = passthrough_next_redirect_url(self.request,
109                                                    reverse("account_signup"),
110                                                    self.redirect_field_name)
111         redirect_field_value = self.request.REQUEST \
112             .get(self.redirect_field_name)
113         ret.update({"signup_url": signup_url,
114                     "site": Site.objects.get_current(),
115                     "redirect_field_name": self.redirect_field_name,
116                     "redirect_field_value": redirect_field_value})
117         return ret
118 
119 login = LoginView.as_view()

You see it has the reverse("account_signup") with no extra arguments I have not edited this as I thought allauth was supposed to work out of the box and am relantant to break things by tinkering

That line is highlighted in the full traceback error. Traceback:

(2) Is SITE_ID important for this, or just for social integration?

Please advise of trouble-shooting steps which might make sense from here. Thanks in advance, M

It says 0 patterns matched, which is a red flag. My guess is, something is off in your root url conf. — karthikr, Sep 30 '14 at 18:00
Correct you were, I had deviated from the tutorial hours ago and Kevin correctly pointed out the exact error below. Thanks so much! — Mark, Sep 30 '14 at 18:34

Let me present this answer with some debugging tips that hopefully will prove useful in the future.

When you see that particular Django error, it almost always means that something is wrong with your urls.py. The odds that such a widely-used package has a bug affecting such basic usage is pretty remote, so digging into the source code was probably wasted effort in this case.

You said that you installed django-allauth "exactly as per tutorials", but when I compare your setup to the documentation I see this difference:

Documentation: (r'^accounts/', include('allauth.urls'))

You: (r'^accounts/', include('allauth.urls', namespace='allauth'))

So it appears that something is wrong with your use of namespacing.

A quick Google search pulls up this issue, where the package author explains that namespacing isn't supported.

So if you get rid of the namespace argument, everything should work as expected.

I've exposed myself as a blatent liar. Thank you so much for ending my troubles here. Yes, I modified that namespace argument as part of trouble-shooting hours ago and forgot I had done so. Deleting it did indeed solve my problem. You have restored my night and some glimmer of self worth -- thank you! – Mark Sep 30 '14 at 18:35
