get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'pk_news'

Question

views.py:

class NewsCommentsUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, UserPassesTestMixin, UpdateView):
    model = Comment
    fields = ('comment',)
    template_name = 'news/comment_edit.html'

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse_lazy('news_detail', args=[str(self.object.news.id)])

    def get(self, request):
        return Comment.objects.get(pk_news=self.request.GET.get('news_id'), pk=self.request.GET.get('id'))

    def test_func(self):
        obj = self.get_object()
        if self.request.user.has_perm('news.all') or self.request.user.has_perm('news.delete_news') or obj.author == self.request.user:
            return True 

urls.py:

path('<int:pk_news>/comment_edit/<int:pk>/', NewsCommentsUpdateView.as_view(), name='comment_edit'),
path('<int:pk_news>/comment-delete/<int:pk>/', NewsCommentsDeleteView.as_view(), name='comment_delete'),

template:

{% for comment in object.comments.all %}
                        <a href="{% url 'comment_edit'  pk_news=news.pk pk=comment.pk %}">Edit</a> |
                        <a href="{% url 'comment_delete'  pk_news=news.pk pk=comment.pk %}">Delete</a>
{% endfor %}

It does not work and gives me an error (get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'pk_news').

Answer 1

The url parameters are passed to the get (post, put, etc.) functions. Since these do not belong to the query string [wiki], these are thus not in the request.GET.

You thus process these with:

class NewsCommentsUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, UserPassesTestMixin, UpdateView):
    model = Comment
    fields = ('comment',)
    template_name = 'news/comment_edit.html'

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse_lazy('news_detail', args=[str(self.object.news.id)])

    def get(self, request, pk_news, pk):
        return Comment.objects.get(pk_news=pk_news, pk=pk)

    def test_func(self):
        obj = self.get_object()
        return self.request.user.has_perm('news.all') or \
               self.request.user.has_perm('news.delete_news') or \
               obj.author == self.request.user

Your get, post, etc. requests should return a HttpResponse object not a model object. You thus should process this item accordingly. Likely you want this to be the .get_object() method. In that case you access the URL parameters with self.kwargs:

class NewsCommentsUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, UserPassesTestMixin, UpdateView):
    model = Comment
    fields = ('comment',)
    template_name = 'news/comment_edit.html'

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse_lazy('news_detail', args=[str(self.object.news.id)])

    def get_object(self, *__, **___):
        return Comment.objects.get(pk_news=self.kwargs['pk_news'], pk=self.kwargs['pk'])

    def test_func(self):
        obj = self.get_object()
        return self.request.user.has_perm('news.all') or \
               self.request.user.has_perm('news.delete_news') or \
               obj.author == self.request.user
