python - Redirecting Django built-in login View to a URL taking user's pk as argument -

i trying redirect url taking user's pk argument after successful log-in using django's built-in login view.

instead of dynamic {{ next }} variable in login.html have generic landing view of logged-in users;

<input type="submit" value="login" /> <input type="hidden" name="next" value="{% url 'userredirect' %}" /> 

in urls.py have;

url(r'^users/', views.users, name='userredirect'), url(r'^(?p<pk>\d+)/', userhome.as_view(), name='userhome'), 

and in views.py have

@login_required def users(request):     url = reverse('userhome', kwargs={'pk':request.user.id})     return httpresponseredirect(url) 

what doing here redirect detail view have named userhome on user model after successful login using 2 redirects not know of way redirect userhome directly (it takes user's pk argument). works , indeed redirected user's homepage when checking via browser.

reference;

the "next" parameter, redirect, django.contrib.auth.login

but when running below test

    def test_page_redirects_to_user_home_on_login(self):     """     test assure login page redirects user's     home page     """     username = "someusername"     password = "somepassword"     user = user.objects.create_user(username=username,                 password=password)     user.save()     response = self.client.post(reverse("userlogin"),                                 {"username":username,                                  "password":password},                                 follow=true)     assert response.path == self.client.get(reverse("userhome",                                                      kwargs={"pk":user.id}                                                )                                        ) 

i below failure

attributeerror: 'httpresponsenotfound' object has no attribute 'path' 

it seems test client gets no page. using userredirect view redirecting , client not go ahead , userhome class view context.

i'm newbie django/python. please sort out me :).

i forward either way can redirect directly template login view userhome or way rewrite test.

hard without more insight in project. here few possibilities , such.

response has no path

response indeed has no path, wanted this:

assert response.wsgi_request.path == reverse("userhome", kwargs={"pk":user.id}) 

include next in test

you're simulating data login form, you're omitting next field. add posted data:

{"username":username, "password":password, "next": '/users/',} 

take what's in response

it might see what's in response in test. example:

print(response.redirect_chain) 

perhaps you're not reaching login page?

are missing login_url in settings.py?

login_url = '/login/' 

without it, you'll redirected '/accounts/login/', might 404 you're seeing.

finaly - why? :)

perhaps have special use case, i'd read user's id (a.k.a. pk) request.user. way (for example) can't access example.com/<your_id> , access homepage. of course, might intend. in case i'd still have separate url current user, pay off later. this:

    ...     url(r'^/', userhome.as_view(), name='userhome'),     url(r'^(?p<pk>\d+)/', userhome.as_view(), name='userhome'),     ...)    class userhome(detailview):  # protect loginrequiredmixin     model = user      def get_object(self, queryset=none):         if queryset none:             queryset = self.get_queryset()         id = self.kwargs.get('pk', self.request.user.id)         return queryset.filter(id=id).get()
