Comment:
I was unable to duplicate this in 1.5.1.
I created a basic model as below:
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 80%"
#models.py
}}}
{{{#!python
from django.db import models
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
}}}
A basic view:
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 80%"
#views.py
}}}
{{{#!python
from django.views.generic import CreateView
from .models import Author
class CreateAuthor(CreateView):
model = Author
}}}
The traceback I got back was:
{{{
TemplateDoesNotExist at /
test_16502/author_form.html
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://10.10.10.10:9000/
Django Version: 1.5.1
Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist
Exception Value:
test_16502/author_form.html
Exception Location:
/home/vagrant/django/django/django/template/loader.py in select_template,
line 194
Python Executable: /home/vagrant/.virtualenvs/django/bin/python
Python Version: 2.7.3
}}}
I think this is the correct exception that should be raised and the
exception is present in the regular debug view.
Perhaps this was an issue with earlier versions of Django and it's been
resolved in another ticket, though I can't hunt this down. Perhaps related
to ticket:16866?
Perhaps if this is still a bug provide more information on how to
reproduce it.
