Reverse for 'xyz' not found. 'chat' is not a valid view function or pattern name. At redirect('xyz')

Question

I am getting an error while using the path in Django.

this is the code where the redirect function is called in views.py

def addmsg(request):
    c = request.POST['content']
    new_item = messageItem(content = c)
    new_item.save()
    bot_msg(c)
    return redirect('chatapp:chat')

urls.py

app_name = 'chatapp'
urlpatterns = [
    path('chat', views.chatbot, name='chat'),
    path('addmsg',views.addmsg, name='addmsg'),
    ]

Django error:

I have also registered the app name in settings.py

Answer 1

Change the redirect('chatapp:chat') to redirect('chat').

Explanation: The redirect function would search for the name of the URL in urls.py and in your case it's

path('chat', views.chatbot, name='chat'),
