Frustrating NoReverseMatch Found

Question

I'm having a tough time debugging this particular error. I have the following in my urls.py:

url(r'^report/(?P<share_url>\w+)/$', 'share', 
  name='share'),
url(r'^report/(?P<share_url>\w+)/revoke/$', 'share_revoke',
  name='share_revoke'),

In views.py I have:

def share(request, share_url):
  ...

@login_required
def share_revoke(request, share_url):
  ...

In my template I have:

<a href='{% url share share_url %}'>Share</a>
<a href='{% url share_revoke share_url %}'>Revoke</a>

When I try and load this template, I get a NoReverseMatch:

NoReverseMatch at /mypath/

Reverse for 'share_revoke' with arguments '(u'Sh4rE',)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.

Why is it failing for the second url and not the first? I am logged in.

Trying this on the shell:

>>> reverse('share',args=(u'klajsdf',))
'/report/klajsdf/'

>>> reverse('share_revoke',args=(u'klajsdf',))
Traceback (most recent call last):

validate that share_revoke share_url contains the right data — Rickard Zachrisson, Jan 03 '13 at 15:09
You mean `'share'` instead of `'share_url'` actually in `reverse('share_url',args=(u'klajsdf',))`? — okm, Jan 03 '13 at 15:37

This was a non-issue in the end. My problem was SublimeText2 SFTP had got confused and wasn't overwriting the urls.py on my server, hence the large amount of wtf.
