Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
Ah, grrr. I'd rather not. (As much as I was and am +1 on #18707.)
Adjust below with "For me" whenever appropriate.
Taking an arbitrary change from the PR:
From this:
{{{
with self.assertRaisesMessage(ImproperlyConfigured, msg):
self.client.get('/detail/author/invalid/qs/')
}}}
To this:
{{{
response = self.client.get('/detail/author/invalid/qs/')
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 500)
_, exc_value, _ = response.exc_info
self.assertIsInstance(exc_value, ImproperlyConfigured)
self.assertEqual(str(exc_value), msg)
}}}
It's both longer and less clear in intent.
Raising the exception is a great behaviour in most cases. It's a great
default behaviour.
Yes, it's nice to have a switch (which we now do) for testing error views.
But the overall change isn't a win.
The `@override_settings(DEBUG_PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS=False)` is bad API.
I'm adjusting a setting to alter test client behaviour.
I **want** a kwarg for that.
Beyond all that I don't think it's worth the churn.
Again, all "For me" where needed.
As I say, grrr. -1 I'm afraid.
I'll leave this open for now to allow others to comment, before the
inevitable trip to the mailing list, but say wontfix here.
(Sorry to think that.)
