django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'cameramodel_add' not found.

[djjudas21]

I've started trying to reimplement a UI with django-material again from scratch. I'm running into an error and I've put quite a lot of time into trying to figure it out, but I can't make progress.

I assume cameramodel_add has the _add suffix automatically added by the ModelViewSet, but somehow the autoloading isn't working?

• the parent app is camerahub
• the app which contains an existing models.py is schema
• the app which contains a skeleton Material project is ui

The schema app used to contain a bunch of views I wrote myself, but I have now deleted everything apart from models.py and the migrations.

# camerahub/urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
from material.frontend import urls as frontend_urls

urlpatterns = [
    path('', include(frontend_urls)),
    path('', include('schema.urls')),
    path('api/', include('api.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('accounts/', include('django_registration.backends.activation.urls')),
    path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
    path('', include('django_prometheus.urls')),
    path('ratings/', include('star_ratings.urls', namespace='ratings')),
    path('health/', include('health_check.urls')),
]

# ui/urls.py

from unicodedata import name
from django.urls import path, include
from django.views import generic

from . import views


urlpatterns = [
    path('', generic.TemplateView.as_view(template_name="index.html"), name="index"),
    path('cameramodel/', include(views.CameraModelViewSet().urls)),
]

# ui/views.py

from material.frontend.views import ModelViewSet

from schema import models

# class MyModelViewSet(ModelViewSet):
#    model = models.MyModel

class CameraModelViewSet(ModelViewSet):
    model = models.CameraModel

Trying to browse to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ui/cameramodel/ I get
