Django: Reverse for '' not found. '' is not a valid view function or pattern name

Question

I am getting the above error when i tried to redirect from my UserAuth app to UserArea app. It says 'NoReverseMatch at /index/'.

UserAuth/views.py

def loginUser(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        username = request.POST.get('username')
        password = request.POST.get('password')

        user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)

        if user is not None:
            login(request, user)
            # return render(request, 'home.html')
            return redirect('nsUserArea:urlUserHome')
            
        else:
            messages.info(request, 'User name or password is incorrect')

    return render(request, "Login.html")

USerAuth/urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.loginUser, name="urllogin"),
    path('logout/', views.logoutUser, name="urllogout"),
    path('register/', views.register, name="urlregister"),
    path('home/', views.home, name="urlhome"),
    
]

UserArea/urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.IndexPage, name="urlUserHome"),
]

My main project urls.py file is this:

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('UserAuth.urls', namespace="nsUserAuth")),
    path('index/', include('UserArea.urls', namespace="nsUserArea")),
]

UserArea/views.py

def IndexPage(request):
    return redirect(request, 'home.html')

home.html

<h1>Home</h1>

Answer 1

I was also getting the same problem that you are getting:

I modified my redirect to render. Change

return redirect() 

to

return render()

Answer 2

def IndexPage(request):
    return redirect(request, 'home.html')

Try without request

def IndexPage(request):
    return redirect('home.html')
