of-settings/27424
Use system checks to look for sane setting types at the start. Output
would be something like this:
System check identified some issues:
{{{
WARNINGS:
?: (files.W001) The type of CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS should be int
(default 600). see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings
/#std-setting-CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS
}}}
For some misconfigured settings there will still be an explicit
ImproperlyConfigured exception raised (like The ALLOWED_HOSTS setting must
be a list or a tuple) or an implicit exception like AttributeError: ‘int’
object has no attribute ‘find’ when for example set LANGUAGE_CODE to an
int.
The implementation checks the type of the default value against the type
of the user setting and issues a warning if they don’t match. This works
for most settings, since they do have a default value other than None. For
the ones that have None as the default value, a table is present, that
contains the expected default values.
