Description (last modified by Tzu-ping Chung)

When a CSRF error is raised in debug mode, the technical page require DjangoTemplates to be rendered. If you have your TEMPLATES setting configured without a DjangoTemplates entry, you will instead get an ImproperlyConfigured: No DjangoTemplates backend is configured. error. This can be resolved if you add a DjangoTemplates entry to the TEMPLATES setting, but since many error pages (500, 404, etc.) work without DjangoTemplates, this one probably should, too.

To reproduce:

  1. Create a new project.
  1. Change the TEMPLATES setting to not include a DjangoTemplates entry, e.g. 
TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.jinja2.Jinja2',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
        },
    },
]
  1. Create a view, and send a POST request to it in the browser, without the CSRF token.
