Hi,

I'm trying to understand some sample code. I am able to hit "Get" for a list but I can't get the individual get to return a single item.

My urls.py within my app looks like

urlpatterns = {
    url(
         r'^blists/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)$', views.get_delete_update_blist, name='get_delete_update_blist'),
    url(
         r'^blists/$',views.get_post_blist, name='get_post_blist'),
}

urlpatterns = format_suffix_patterns(urlpatterns)

Again, views.get_post_blist gets executed without an issue. When I try and send a put, delete or get with an id, it won't match and execute views.get_delete_update_blist. Get executes the other method and put and delete return 405's.

views.py looks like

from django.shortcuts import render

# Create your views here.
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework import status
from .serializers import BucketlistSerializer
from .models import Bucketlist


@api_view(['GET', 'DELETE', 'PUT'])
def get_delete_update_blist(request, pk):
    try:
        blist = Bucketlist.objects.get(pk=pk)
    except Bucketlist.DoesNotExist:
        return Response(status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)

    # get details of a single blist
    if request.method == 'GET':
        serializer = BucketlistSerializer(blist)
        return Response(serializer.data)
    # delete a single blist
    elif request.method == 'DELETE':
        return Response({})
    # update details of a single blist
    elif request.method == 'PUT':
        serializer = BucketlistSerializer(blist, data=request.data)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save()
            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)
        return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

@api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
def get_post_blist(request):
    # get all blists
    if request.method == 'GET':
        blist = Bucketlist.objects.all()
        serializer = BucketlistSerializer(blist, many=True)
        return Response(serializer.data)
    # insert a new record for a puppy
    elif request.method == 'POST':
        data = {
            'name': request.data.get('name'),
            'status': request.data.get('age')
        }
        serializer = BucketlistSerializer(data=data)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save()
            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

Why can't I execute this view? "get_delete_update_blist"
