next_page parameter in logout function does not recognize named urls

[caumons]

When using logout function:

logout(request[, next_page, template_name, redirect_field_name])

next_page parameter does not recognize named urls, it appends the name at the end of the current URL. E.g. if your "/" URL is named "home", then using "home" as the next_page will result in the URL /logout/home

If this won't be fixed, at least mention it in the docs. Thanks!

This seems fair.The corresponding login view does call resolve_url to lookup a variety of ways to express the URL but the logout view does not.

Either we need to make things consistent or we need to mention it in the documentation.

The login and logout views don't actually work exactly the same way. You can't pass a next_page parameter to login (you can configure settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL or pass a parameter in the request).

Still, this seems like a reasonable and useful feature, which wouldn't be hard to implement. I don't foresee any backwards-compatibility issues either.

In 980ae2ab29cb25182404eb1ccc919573edcc44f5:

Fix #20447: URL names given to contrib.auth.views are now resolved.

This commit also adds tests for the redirect feature of most auth views.
It also cleans up the tests, most notably using @override_settings instead
of ad-hoc setUp/tearDown methods.

Thanks to caumons for the report.

Thanks to you for the fast fix!

I installed Django with pip command. Can I get this update into the current installed version or should I use a clone of the development version?

Thanks! :)
