#33723 closed New feature (needsinfo)

DEBUG_PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS is not honored by runserver

Description

When setting DEBUG_PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS = True the exception gets re-raised in the view, but still gets handled/swallowed by runserver then.

Therefore python -m pdb ./manage.py runserver --nothreading --noreload does not allow for post-mortem debugging then.

This could be fixed by implementing handle_error on the WSGIServer and ServerHandler used by the runserver command.

Hey Daniel. Interesting idea. I'm not sure of the benefit… maybe it's worth it, but I've always found setting a breakpoint in an erroring view to be sufficient. 🤔

Can I ask you to follow-up on the DevelopersMailingList to see what others think, and to canvas suggestions on the implementation (as it seems a bit first pass).

Just as a question: what happens with the handle_error() under normal usage if I have DEBUG_PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS set? (It seems like a probable can of worms…) 🤔
