DRF: viewsets lookup_field ImproperlyConfigured

Question

I'm migrating my DRF from generics to viewsets, but I receive this error:

Could not resolve URL for hyperlinked relationship using view name "monument-detail". You may have failed to include the related model in your API, or incorrectly configured the `lookup_field` attribute on this field.

This is my urls.py

from app.api import views
from rest_framework import routers

router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'monuments', views.MonumentsViewSet)

urlpatterns = router.urls

This is my viewset

from app.api import serializers
from rest_framework import viewsets


class MonumentsViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    serializer_class = serializers.MonumentSerializer
    queryset = serializer_class.Meta.model.objects.all()
    lookup_field = 'id'

And finally here my serializer

from app.api import models
from rest_framework import serializers


class MonumentSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    images = serializers.StringRelatedField(many=True)

    class Meta:
        model = models.Monument
        fields = '__all__'

@BearBrown is a mistake, but if I remove this parameter, it gives me this error `assert self.view_name is not None, 'The view_name argument is required.'` — masaterofnothing, Mar 05 '19 at 10:37

Remove lookup_field = 'id'. I don't know why this happens, but it worked when I copied your code.

P.S Your error says, you incorrectly configured 'lookup_field'
