6,030 PointsDjango Reverse Function Deprecated?
I'm currently going through the Django Testing course, and have run into an issue in Django 1.9
I get the error message
Creating test database for alias 'default'... ./Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/template/defaulttags.py:507: RemovedInDjango110Warning: Reversing by dotted path is deprecated (learning.views.hello_world). current_app=current_app)
Ran 2 tests in 0.028s
when testing out the "test_course_list_view" method which uses the django reverse function. I'm confused by this error message because I was not using reverse on the hello_world url/view. This is the line of code:
resp = self.client.get(reverse('courses:list'))
Thank you for your time!

from django.urls import reverse
Here is the documentation on it. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/urlresolvers/
