Tutorial, part 6 yields a broken project

[chgans]

At the very end of part 6, https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/6-viewsets-and-routers/#using-routers
If you follow the tutorial, you end up with errors like

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not resolve URL for hyperlinked relationship using view name "snippet-detail". You may have failed to include the related model in your API, or incorrectly configured the `lookup_field` attribute on this field.

As a beginner, it is not easy to understand what the problem is.

Turns out that basename needs to be removed.
from

router.register(r'snippets', views.SnippetViewSet,basename="snippets")
router.register(r'users', views.UserViewSet,basename="users")

to

router.register(r'snippets', views.SnippetViewSet)
router.register(r'users', views.UserViewSet)

This fixes the issue.
BTW, there's no explanation on why basename was needed.
I found the tutorial to be excellent! But IMO, the last part doesn't seem polished.

Yup was wondering the same thing. You can also just remove the plural ‘s’ in the base names as well. But yes very confusing and definitely an issue.
