Admin page is broken after installation

[fchabouis]

Hello, I followed the instructions given on the readme, but get a broken admin page with the following error:

NoReverseMatch at /admin/

Reverse for 'app_list' with keyword arguments '{'app_label': 'drf_api_logger'}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['admin/(?P<app_label>auth|authtoken|batid)/$']

Additionnal details: I have installed the drf_api_logger extension with pip I have added it in the installed app and as a middleware. I have added in settings.py some flags. I have run the migrations and the drf_api_logs table has been created in the DB.

However, when I make an API call, nothing is logged. The admin page is broken with a NoReverseMatch error.

Here is my settings.py file:

"""

Is there anything obvious I'm missing? Thanks!

The admin panel error appears as soon as I set DRF_API_LOGGER_DATABASE = True. If I set it to False, I can access the admin page, but there is no information related to drf_api_logger.

[vishalanandl177]

Did you migrate after setting to DRF_API_LOGGER_DATABASE = True?

[fchabouis]

I don't rememeber if I migrated after or before setting DRF_API_LOGGER_DATABASE.

I have tried drf-api-tracking instead and got the same problem with the admin page, so I knew the problem with the admin page was not coming from your package.

Finally I found that one of my previously installed_app was somehow preventing me from adding an app that was adding something on the admin page.

The solution for me was to add drf_api_logger in the INSTALLED_APP before the problematic application in the list. I didn't know the order of the list was important.

As I finally found the solution while playing with the other plugin, I will stick with the other one. But thank you for your answer, and I hope this issue will help if someone encounters the same problem.

Have a good day!
