Ticket #17664, comment 8
initial v1 16 16 krzysiumed's analysis of the template evaluation behavior is spot-on. 17 17 18 I believe the current behavior is broken, regardless of the question of whether templates should raise exceptions or not : if an exception-raising filter like `var|somefilter` is supposed to evaluate to the empty string, then one would in turn expect expressions like `not var|somefilter` and `True or var|somefilter` to interpret the empty string and evaluate to true (or whatever is appropriate), instead of effectively ignoring the intermediate expressions and always evaluating to false, as above.18 I believe the current behavior is broken, regardless of the question of whether templates should raise exceptions or not.
