path('',include(home.urls)),
NameError: name 'home' is not defined

When I try to runserver / migrate.

I'm sucepting a wrong setting cause it should work : My folders organisation

Project : urls.py (dir dashsite):

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('',include(home.urls)),

App: urls.py (dir home) :

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns=[
    path('',views.home, name='home')
]

views.py (dir home) :

from django.shortcuts import render

def home(request) :
    return render(request,'home/welcome.html')

Thank's for your help and the time you take. Arthur

you forgot to put the quotes in path('',include('home.urls')), — alv2017

Make sure to include the app home in installed app in settings.py, Put quotes around the home.urls in base URL like so:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('',include('home.urls'))
]

I believe this should work now.
