ProjectInviteCreateView GET request with query string fails for category

[mikkonie]

In RoleAssignmentCreateView, typing an email address in the user field provides a link redirecting to ProjectInviteCreateView.

This works for projects, but currently fails with a 404 when done from inside a category.

This needs to be fixed and also added to tests.

Update: This also fails with a direct request to ProjectInviteCreateView if the UUID is for a category and a query string is included. See comments.

Update 2: Fixed for now with a workaround, see comments.

This one is very strange. It must be something very simple and dumb, but I'm confused.

These URLs work:

/project/invites/create/{PROJECT_UUID}
/project/invites/create/{PROJECT_UUID}?e=user%40example.com&r=4
/project/invites/create/{CATEGORY_UUID}

However, this fails:

/project/invites/create/{CATEGORY_UUID}?e=user%40example.com&r=4

What's more, it fails with the Django URLconf error of not finding the URL pattern in config.urls.

However, /project/invites/create/{PROJECT_UUID}?e=user%40example.com&r=4 and /project/invites/create/{CATEGORY_UUID}?e=user%40example.com&r=4 are supposed to the same pattern, as categories and projects are objects of the same Project class.

Does the query string break this pattern somehow? I've never seen this before.

I fixed this for v1.0.3 by adding a workaround, where I include the query string in the URL route. However, this should not be required! Query strings should not go to routes as url kwargs.

I'm leaving this issue open as it is quite baffling. If anyone has ideas for the cause and a proper fix, please let me know.

Oh also, this happens on both Django 3.2 and 4.2. Originally reported in SODAR v0.15..
