Django admin list_display eats AttributeError by mistake

[liu.dongyuan@…]

When Django admin list_display calling custom method, the exception AttributeError can't be seen.

See the sample snippets below.

class ExampleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def example(self, field):
        raise AttributeError
    list_display = ('example',)

class ExampleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def example(self, field):
        a = 1
        a.encode("utf8")
    list_display = ('example',)

Since i suppose the AttributeError is catched this way by design,
i amended the code to distinguish between the Exception raise by the model itself or by any other object

Definitely something we should probably handle, though I think there's a better way to figure out where the exception came from. Taking a stab at the patch.

There are actually a few older versions of this:

• #18593
• #16655

Going to close as a duplicate.
