Hi,

recently i deployed an API using the following serializers:

class SimpleMotorTypeSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = MotorType
        fields = ('url',
                  'id',
                  'customer_part_number',
                  )

class MotorSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    motor_type = SimpleMotorTypeSerializer(source='abc', read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Motor
        fields = ('url',
                  'id',
                  'motor_type',
                  ...)


The problem is with the source agrument. I just misspelled the source 
string (inidicated here with "abc", which does not exist).
My tests didn't throw an error because there is no error thrown at all.

So i am interested how i could avoid this in future (because typing errors 
are a human thing). Probably testing each single attribute in my JSON 
response.

But mainly i am asking: 
Why there is no error raised for a non existing "abc" source?
