Hey Andrea, Please have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4300442/show-undefined-variable-errors-in-templates
Put this in your debug settings: class InvalidString(str): def __mod__(self, other): from django.template.base import TemplateSyntaxError raise TemplateSyntaxError( "Undefined variable or unknown value for: \"%s\"" % other) TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID = InvalidString("%s") This should raise an error when the template engine sees or finds an undefined value. Another trick is to set TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID to "%s %s" and that will cause a formatting error to be raised. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/templates/api/#how-invalid-variables-are-handled Sincerely, Pankaj Singh http://about.me/psjinx On Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 4:02 PM, andrea crotti <andrea.crott...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a case where we use django templates, but it really makes no sense to > render the templates if a value is not passed in the contentx, and it should > just fail.. > > I don't find anywhere how to force that though, I understand the default of > failing silently but there should be a way also to fail making some noise, > right? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to django-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to django-users@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/django-users?hl=en. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
