Could you provide the code to reproduce the error?

comment:3 by archivarius888, 9 years ago

>>> from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
>>> ValidationError([{}])

comment:4 by Huu Nguyen, 9 years ago

Under what circumstances does this exception get thrown? From the definition of message, it doesn't appear that [{}] is a valid form of message. If message does take that form somehow, then that's a separate bug. Both ValidationError([]) and ValidationError({}) work just fine.

Yeap, I just code would be better. And the user can do anything.

We could at least not crash so obscurely I suppose.

Could not reproduce using current Django master on Python 3.4.1 on OSX 10.10.4.

I've confirmed that the crash no longer happens on both v2.0.7 and master on Mac OS 10.13.5 with Python 3.7.0:

In [1]: import django

In [2]: django.__version__
Out[2]: '2.0.7'

In [3]: from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError

In [4]: ValidationError([{}])
Out[4]: ValidationError([])
In [1]: import django

In [2]: django.__version__
Out[2]: '2.2.dev20180711212029'

In [3]: from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError

In [4]: ValidationError([{}])
Out[4]: ValidationError([])

Can this ticket be closed?
