Issue #2414
Updated by amacdona@redhat.com about 8 years ago
`HyperlinkedRelatedField` for detail list views are passed incorrect `view_names`.
As an example, this should be the most simple working detail importer serializer possible:
<pre><code class="python">
class TestImporterSerializer(ImporterSerializer):
# _href is provided by the base class, which is a subclass of `MasterModelSerializer`
class Meta:
model = TestImporter
fields = ImporterSerializer.Meta.fields
</code></pre>
This creates the following error from Django (viewed from the browsable web API):
<pre>
ImproperlyConfigured at /api/v3/importers/test/
Could not resolve URL for hyperlinked relationship using view name "testimporter-detail". "importers-detail". You may have failed to include the related model in your API, or incorrectly configured the `lookup_field` attribute on this field.

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not resolve URL for hyperlinked relationship using view name "importers-detail". You may have failed to include the related model in your API, or incorrectly configured the `lookup_field` attribute on this field.
</pre>
The problem is that the view_name being passed to the HyperlinedRelatedField is `testimporter-detail`, which does not exist. What should be created is `<master_names>-<detail_name>-detail`, which in this example would be importers-test-detail.
There is a workaround, the plugin writer just needs to override `_href` with the correct view_name, but this isn't ideal and should be handled by the base class.
<pre><code class="python">
class TestImporterSerializer(ImporterSerializer):
_href = serializers.HyperlinkedIdentityField(view_name='importers-test-detail')
class Meta:
model = TestImporter
fields = ImporterSerializer.Meta.fields
</code></pre>
