I've checked our project and I found out that the issue was caused by the
configuration of the default_urlconf at the root url:
{{{
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.views.debug import default_urlconf
urlpatterns = [
path('', default_urlconf),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
}}}
The problem is caused by the fact that the Template engine is
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/103a6f4307b4402198b03d79c683e195686572e1/django/views/debug.py#L22
different for this view]:
{{{
# Minimal Django templates engine to render the error templates
# regardless of the project's TEMPLATES setting. Templates are
# read directly from the filesystem so that the error handler
# works even if the template loader is broken.
DEBUG_ENGINE = Engine(
debug=True,
libraries={'i18n': 'django.templatetags.i18n'},
)
}}}
I'm in favor of considering this a configuration error from the user's
side. However if a better message can be provided that would be nice.
