didn't get the debig toolbar on my browser

Hi there,

After making all steps of set up I don't succeed to get the toolbar on my browser? I look for the set up steps on internet but there is the same except of middleware line. So, I add 'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware'

this line in the settings.py,

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
    'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware'
]

It still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

settings.py

INTERNAL_IP = ['127.0.0.1']

The URLconf is usually <your-project-name>.urls.py (in the same folder as settings.py)

<project-name>.urls.py

# remember to import settings
from django.conf import settings

# here is your urlpatterns
urlpatterns = [
    # some urls here
]

if settings.DEBUG:
    import debug_toolbar
    urlpatterns = [
        path('__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
    ] + urlpatterns

Try add it as #4 from the top like this:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',  # up here
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]

You also have to set the INTERNAL_IP and add debug toolbar to the URLconf

Thanks Henrik. Where should I add the debug toolbar? What is the URLconf? And finally, how does I set the INTERNAL_IP?

I just have to put "INTERNAL_IP = ['127.0.0.1']" wherever in the settings file?

Thanks for your feedback

I tried this without success:

from django.conf import settings
from django.urls import include, path, re_path
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('courses/', include('courses.urls', namespace='courses')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('suggest/', views.suggestion_view, name='suggestion'),
    path('', views.hello_world, name='home'),
]

if settings.DEBUG:
    import debug_toolbar
    urlpatterns = [
        path('__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
    ] + urlpatterns

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

maybe I have to remove staticfiles_urlpatterns() ??

For settings.py, here is the code just in case:
