NoReverseMatch for api_dispatch_detail and api_dispatch_list in Django 2.2

[dharvey-consbio]

Given a project that defines a set of Tastypie endpoints:

project.api

from tastypie.resources import ModelResource

class ProjectResource(ModelResource):
    ...

project.urls

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from tastypie.api import Api
from .api import ProjectResource

api = Api(api_name='v1')
api.register(ProjectResource())

app_name = 'project'

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^api/', include(api.urls)),
]

And another project that depends on Django 2.2 and that project, which includes the urls defined by it:

another_project.urls

from django.conf.urls import include, url

app_name = 'another_project'

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^', include('project.urls')),
]

A call to ProjectResource.get_resource_uri with either api_dispatch_list or api_dispatch_detail returns an empty string, which causes the 'resource_uri' returned with objects on that resource to always be empty strings.

The reason is because in the context of another_project, Django is expecting project:api_dispatch_list and project:api_dispatch_detail. The app_name defined in project.urls needs to be prepended to the view name. So in queries to ProjectResource through another_project, the get_resource_uri method encounters NoReverseMatch and populates 'resource_uri' with an empty string for all objects returned.

In my case, because I manage both projects, my workaround was to override project.api.ProjectResource.get_resource_uri as follows (notice "project:" in the method signature and the first if statement):

project.api

from tastypie.resources import ModelResource

class ProjectResource(ModelResource):
    def get_resource_uri(self, bundle_or_obj=None, url_name='project:api_dispatch_list'):
        if bundle_or_obj is not None:
            url_name = 'project:api_dispatch_detail'
        try:
            return self._build_reverse_url(url_name, kwargs=self.resource_uri_kwargs(bundle_or_obj))
        except NoReverseMatch:
            return ''

Can Tastypie be made to better support use cases like the above?
