Django 3: Passing slug in URLs to views?

I'm trying out Django for a webshop, I'm following the instructions of a book(Django 3 by example), but there seem to be something missing.

I have tested if return to home in def product_list seen in views.py, so I believe the problem is in the "if category_slug:" condition or it is not receiving the slug.

In main urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls), 
    path('', include('shop.urls', namespace='shop')),
]

In app urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.product_list, name='product_list'), 
    path('<slug:category_slug>/', views.product_list, name='products_list_by_category'), 
    path('<int:id>/<slug:slug>/', views.product_detail, name='product_detail'),
]

In views.py:

def product_list(request, category_slug=False):
        category = None
        categories = Category.objects.all()
        products = Product.objects.filter(available=True)
        
        if category_slug:
            category = get_object_or_404(Category, slug=category_slug)
            products = products.filter(category=category)
            return render(request, 'shop/product/list.html', {'category': category, 'categories': categories, 'products': products})

Maybe this can help

path('<slug:slug>/', views.PostDetail.as_view(), name='post_detail'),

Try this out in url_patterns

url(r'^(?P<category_slug>[-\w]+)/$', views.product_list, name='products_list_by_category'),
