#1 - Fixed django admin startapp to handle directory names with trailing slashes by modifying the validate name method in templates py to remove trailing slashes before checking for valid identifiers

[aidando73]

Resolves #1

Introduction

The django-admin startapp command was throwing an error when the directory name had a trailing slash. This PR fixes the issue by modifying the validate_name method in the templates.py file to remove any trailing slashes from the directory name before checking if it's a valid identifier.

Changes Made

• The templates.py file was viewed to understand the current implementation of the validate_name method.
• The list_files function was used to list the files in the django/core/management directory.
• The validate_name method was modified to use the rstrip method to remove any trailing slashes from the target variable.
• The edit_file function was used to update the templates.py file with the modified validate_name method.

Solution

The validate_name method now correctly handles directory names with trailing slashes. The rstrip method is used to remove any trailing slashes from the target variable before checking if it's a valid identifier.

Tests and Example Uses

To test the changes, you can run the django-admin startapp command with a directory name that has a trailing slash. The command should now complete successfully without throwing an error.

django-admin startapp myapp /

This should create a new Django app called myapp in the current directory.

Conclusion

This PR fixes the issue with the django-admin startapp command throwing an error when the directory name has a trailing slash. The changes made ensure that the validate_name method correctly handles directory names with trailing slashes.
