Issue
on trying to run C:\Python34/python manage.py makemigrations, I get the following error: (following a tutorial from www.testandtrack.io)
Error
WARNINGS: ?: (urls.w005) URL namespace 'admin' isn't unique. You may not be able to reverse all URLS in this namespace
What precisely do I need to change and where do I need to look?
teachers/url.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.urls import include, path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', views.teachers, name='teachers'),
]
url.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('main.urls')),
path('teachers/', include('teachers.urls')),
]
main/url.py
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('header/', views.header, name='header'),
path('', views.index, name='index'),
]
I’ve pasted the various url.py files above and imagine it’s a problem somewhere there. could anyone please point me in the right direction, with an explanation please?
I’ve considered that I could/should remove
path(‘admin/’, admin.site.urls),
from all but the urls.py file (root) …..when I do remove this, I don’t get the same error, but I don’t know if that will cause other problems and if this is the right thing to do?
Solution
You are correct in that the error stems from repeating path('admin/', admin.site.urls), in all of your url.py files. It is normally only declared at the root level as others have pointed out.
Think of it like this – You wouldn’t want to have a separate admin interface for each app, rather you would want to be able to manage all of your apps from one admin interface which is exactly what occurs when you have it only in the root urls.py file.
Also, although the apps should be modular and independent they still need to be connected to a project to work.
