I want to achieve the same as this question : Redirect to named url pattern directly from urls.py in django?
but with a twist: my application has a namespace, and the selected answer no longer works right.
It works only if I include the namespace (app:) in the pattern_name parameter of RedirectView :
project/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^', include('app.urls', namespace='app', app_name='app')
)
app/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^newurl/$', my_view, name="my_view"),
url(r'^oldurl/$', RedirectView.as_view(pattern_name='app:my_view')
)
But of course this is ugly and prevents the app from being reusable, which undermines the point of namespacing... So surely, there is a way to do this right, right?
