How can I trigger a 500 error in Django?
django, python
Solution
A test view like this will work:
from django.http import HttpResponse
def my_test_500_view(request):
# Return an "Internal Server Error" 500 response code.
return HttpResponse(status=500)
or use the baked in error class:
from django.http import HttpResponseServerError
def my_test_500_view(request):
# Return an "Internal Server Error" 500 response code.
return HttpResponseServerError()
Problem
I'm trying to setup email error logging and I want to test it. Whats an easy way to trigger a 500 error in Django? This surprisingly has not been discussed here yet.
