Thanks. What about the case where I need to get debugging output from deep in
a routine and no obvious (to me, at least) way to bubble it up into the web
browser?
A simple solution is to raise an exception at any point. It'll bubble
up to the Web browser as long as you have DEBUG=True. (If you have
DEBUG=False, Django will attempt to send an e-mail with the full
traceback to the people defined in the ADMINS setting.)
Personally I use "assert False" for this. For example, if I wanted to
see the value of variable foo, I'd do this:
assert False, foo
How do I make this work?
In mysite/apps/simple/views.py I have:
from django.core.extensions import render_to_response
def saysomething(request):
assert False, "Test assert"
return render_to_response('base', {'message': "My message."})
The inclusion of the 'assert' line causes it to throw exception
"TemplateDoesNotExist: 500" and no sign of the output from assert anywhere.
Thanks,
Michael
