Having "definitions" route breaks SwaggerUI

[quantoid]

Given I have an API with a bunch of routes including a "definitions" route that all go to a ModelViewSetthat use a HyperlinkedModelSerializer When I add a SwaggerUI route and view it Then I get no SwaggerUI using get_swagger_view unless I comment out the "definitions" route

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register("accounts", views.AccountViews)
router.register("people", views.PersonViews)
router.register("teams", views.TeamViews)
router.register("definitions", views.DefinitionViews)  # this breaks SwaggerUI

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^status/', healthcheck),
    url(r'^doc/', get_swagger_view(title="REST API")),
    url(r'^api/', include(router.urls)),
]

If there's something special about the "definitions" route I couldn't find it in the doco, other than there being a "definitions" section in a Swagger spec.

Took a long process of elimination to work out that it was the route name!

[davidmir]

What did you have to do to fix the problem? I'm having the same problem ...

Thanks

I changed the name of the route from "definitions" to "patterns".

router.register("patterns", views.DefinitionViews)  # this fixes SwaggerUI

Anything other than "definitions" seems to work.
