> Not that this fixes the problem, but we are trying to obsolete
`.extra()` by providing better APIs for all its use cases. Do you have a
use case in mind where the new expressions API doesn't suffice? If so, I
think there will be more interest in working on that instead of fixing
bugs with `.extra()` which seems likely to be deprecated at some point.
Well, there will always be edge cases where any ORM will not work, I
guess. In my case the new expressions API *would suffice*, unfortunately
we run a rather big project on Django 1.6.11, migrating to 1.7... so I
won't be able to use it for a while.
In any case, I ran into this while trying to generate some much more
complex reports from our database. As {{{.extra()}}} hasn't been
deprecated yet and I was able to boil it down to such a simple failure
case, I think fixing it would still be a very good idea. I feel that if
{{{.extra()}}} fails silently on such a simple case, there are bound to be
other "more legitimate" use-cases that will fail as well. That said, I
haven't investigated Django's code itself, so this might also just be a
very narrow failure mode.
