[Django]-Django Reverse with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found

The solution @miki725 is absolutely correct. Alternatively, if you would like to use the args attribute as opposed to kwargs, then you can simply modify your code as follows:

project_id = 4
reverse('edit_project', args=(project_id,))

An example of this can be found in the documentation. This essentially does the same thing, but the attributes are passed as arguments. Remember that any arguments that are passed need to be assigned a value before being reversed. Just use the correct namespace, which in this case is 'edit_project'.

This problems gave me great headache when i tried to use reverse for generating activation link and send it via email of course. So i think from tests.py it will be same.
The correct way to do this is following:

from django.test import Client
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

#app name - name of the app where the url is defined
client= Client()
response = client.get(reverse('app_name:edit_project', project_id=4)) 

Easiest way is by using kwargs with reverse() function:

from django.test import Client
from django.urls import reverse

url = reverse("edit_project", kwargs={"project_id": 4})
response = Client().get(url)

The function resolve_url is also more straightforward

from django.shortcuts import resolve_url

resolve_url('edit_project', project_id=4)
