UpdateView don't redirect to success_url defined in my class-based view

When I make a post in a update view this redirect to another url but not to that I want. I have an application called project. This is my project.urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('edit/<int:pk>', ProjectUpdateView.as_view(), name='project_update'),
    path('detail/<int:pk>', ProjectDetailView.as_view(), name='project_detail'),
    ...
]

And this is my views.py:

class ProjectUpdateView(UpdateView):
    model = Project
    ...

    def get_success_url(self):
        return reverse_lazy('project_detail', kwargs={'pk': self.object.pk})

And my models.py:

class Project(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    ...
    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('project_detail', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})

When I make a post to this url /edit/5 this redirects me to /edit and this page return me a 404 error, of course because this url doesn't exist. how can i fix this? I'm using django 2.0

Update this is my template project_edit.html:

<form method='post'>
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type='submit' class='btn'>Aceoptar</button>
</form>

I don't think this has anything to do with your get_success_url or get_absolute_url` methods.

It sounds like your form action is:

<form method="post" action=".">

Since you are posting from /edit/5 (without a trailing slash), this means that you are posting to /edit/.

You could change it to:

<form method="post" action="">

or reverse the url

<form method="post" action="{% url 'project_update' project.pk %}">
