Description
Admin checks include several calls to issubclass
without a try
/catch
, allowing a TypeError
to escape if the user provides a value that isn't a class
for whatever is being checked. This seems like a sane-enough edge case to ensure the user gets a useful check failed message rather than an uncaught exception. Providing a PR that uses a helper function that catches the TypeError
and returns False
instead so that the half-dozen checks that use issubclass
have minimal code change.
