An issue with displaying available endpoints in DRF's default API root view

[varnie]

Hello everybody.

I have the following urls.py for an app named service where I register API endpoints:

from .views import AccessViewSet, CheckViewSet

app_name = "api"

router = DefaultRouter()

router.register(r"access/(?P<endpoint>.+)", AccessViewSet, basename="access")
router.register(r"check/(?P<endpoint>.+)", CheckViewSet, basename="check")


urlpatterns = [
    path("", include(router.urls)),
]

Below is my project's urls.py where I use it:

from django.urls import include, path

import service.urls as service_urls

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path("service/", include('service.urls')),
]

The APIs themselves are functioning properly, but I am having trouble making them work with DRF's default API root view. The view is displaying an empty list of available endpoints.
I'm not sure, but this issue may be related to the regular expressions I'm using when registering endpoints, such as r"access/(?P<endpoint>.+).

The problem disappears if I rewrite it like router.register(r"access", AccessViewSet, basename="access") (i.e. I delete that part: (?P<endpoint>.+)).

If this is indeed the problem, how can I resolve it?

I am using:

Django==4.1.5
djangorestframework==3.14.0

Thank you for your time.

can you please check the docs to ensure (?P.+) is needed after router.register(r"access/ ?

what do you mean? It is needed for the purpose of my APIs.
