Description (last modified by James Bennett)

I'm fooling around django trying to do some rapid prototyping and I naively typed the following in my template:
{{ object.other_related_class_set.count() }}

This error is valid in the sense that my template code is bogus, but I had to test line by line to figure out what was wrong. It would be great if the exeption contained the offending line or token!

Traceback included, ask for more details if you need but this is pretty easy to reproduce I think

The behavior in 0.96 is exactly the same.

Has patch: set

The attached patch at least prints the full offending token. It's a bit better but I haven't figured out where to find the filename:line number to add it!

ps: patch is against newforms-admin branch but should apply cleanly to 0.96

Tentatively marked as ready to go, unless someone can improve the patch as per comment 3.

comment:6 by Malcolm Tredinnick, 18 years ago

I messed around with this once before and, I agree, it requires more than just a couple of changes to get the exact location inside classes like FilterExpression. It would basically require extracting that information from Template.parse() and passing it into each node type that wanted it.
