'''Reproduction instructions:'''
1) Add this to your settings file (I'm not saying it's a good idea)
{{{
def KABOOM():
raise ValueError("KABOOM!")
}}}
2) Create a view that raises an uncaught exception
3) Open the corresponding URL with DEBUG = True
'''Expected result:'''
Django's fancy debug page.
'''Actual result:'''
Non-descript error page: "A server error occurred. Please contact the
administrator."
----
Here the function defined in the settings raises an exception; in fact the
problem is that Django's debug page will call any callable setting that
accepts being called without arguments. I admit it's a lousy idea to have
callable settings; Django favors paths to callables; but it's still a lame
behavior to call them arbitrarily :)
This was originally reported against the Debug Toolbar: https://github.com
/django-debug-toolbar/django-debug-toolbar/issues/252. I'm duplicating the
issue here because the Debug Toolbar took that code from Django itself.
I'll update it to follow Django's behavior.
