9290	List index out of range when invalid template tag is used	aneil	nobody	"Using an invalid template tag results in the generic 'list index out of range' error which doesn't show any information about the offending file or expression.  E.g., if a template contains:
{{{
...
{% invalid_template_tag %} 
...
}}}
An error occurs at line 279 of django.template.!__init!__.py:
{{{
278   try:
279      compiled_result = compile_func(self, token)
280   except KeyError:
281      self.invalid_block_tag(token, command)
282   except TemplateSyntaxError, e:
283      if not self.compile_function_error(token,e):
291          raise
}}}
What seems to be happening is that self.invalid_block_tag(...) raises an error which gets caught by TemplateSyntaxError and which eventually leads to the generic 'list index out of range' error being reported in the Django error page.

This problem has also been reported to the BetterErrorMessages page."		closed	Uncategorized	1.0		worksforme			Accepted	0	1	0	0	0	0
