949116 - Unclear error message

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 (Beta/Release)

Steps to reproduce:

https://moztrap.allizom.org/runtests/admin


Actual results:


Page not found (404)
Request Method: 	GET
Request URL: 	https://moztrap.allizom.org/runtests/admin

Using the URLconf defined in moztrap.view.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

    ^$ [name='home']
    ^runtests/ ^$ [name='runtests']
    ^runtests/ ^environment/(?P<run_id>\d+)/$ [name='runtests_environment']
    ^runtests/ ^run/(?P<run_id>\d+)/env/(?P<env_id>\d+)/$ [name='runtests_run']
    ^users/
    ^manage/
    ^results/
    ^admin/
    ^browserid/
    ^api/
    ^owa/
    ^media\/(?P<path>.*)$

The current URL, runtests/admin, didn't match any of these.

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.



Expected results:

For any such irregular url patterns i expect this project/product to redirect every one/user to login page .
 Security shall be strong by doing so preventing users from entering wrong url patterns.

Going directly to an url that doesn't exist does not provide the user with a clear error message, nor does it redirect to valid page such as the home page.
