Comment (by Maker Bajax):
Replying to [comment:1 Tim Graham]:
> I can't think of a similar precedent elsewhere in Django for a warning
or logging like that. The debug page usually display a list of template
names it tried to load for a `TemplateDoesNotExist` exception. Was that
not the case here?
Yes, but it wasn't helpful. It only showed the different file paths where
it tried to locate the template, but it didn't show where the template
itself was defined.
It'd be ideal if there was some way to add an extra blurb to the exception
message when it actually doesn't find a template with the default name,
but honestly I have no idea how to get the message from the point where it
configures the ListView object to the point where the TemplateNotFound
exception would be thrown. (leave template_name None during config, and
look for the default name right before the template is loaded, maybe?) I
thought it at least worth discussing because of the aforementioned
ImproperlyConfigured exceptions for the exact mistake I made being caught
and discarded.
