Test client raises UnboundLocalError when view raises exception and 500.html does not exist.

[Ryan Freckleton]

If an exception is raised in a view that is requested by the test client and the 500.html template does not exist, the test fails with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ryan/src/django_stuff/client_test/../client_test/test_app/tests.py", line 5, in test
    response = self.client.get('/')
  File "/home/ryan/src/django_stuff/django_py/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/test/client.py", line 265, in get
    return self.request(**r)
  File "/home/ryan/src/django_stuff/django_py/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/test/client.py", line 231, in request
    response.client = self
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'response' referenced before assignment

The view function used to generate this was:

def raise_error(request):
    raise Exception()

self.exc_info in the client is not set, so no exception is raised at line client.py:225-228, and an UnboundLocalError is raised at line 231.

This could possibly be related to issue #8136, but I'm not really sure.

This could be the same cause as #8136, but the reported exception is slightly different; I'll make sure when I get around to fixing the problem.

[Ryan Freckleton]

I tried the patch associated with #8136 and it seems to fix this error message as well. So it's probably the same root cause.

[Russell Keith-Magee]

On deeper inspection, this is the same problem as #8136.
