As noted before in this thread I have a lazy rowgetter that only triggers an exception in the template. In other words, the except clause in my view isn't triggered. try: rota = self.model.xmlapi_get_location (**kwargs) except DBException, e: code, message = [epart.strip() for epart in e.msg.split(':')] return HttpResponse(message, status=code, content_type="text/plain") > > My middleware is as follows -- its simply a sketch at present: > > > class ExceptCatcher(object): > > def process_exception(self, request, exception): > > HttpResponse("Error encountered") > > Is this code verbatim?

I'm simply trying to trigger the exception handler in ipdb and that is not happening using either either the standard middleware or decorator_from_middleware methodologies. I guess this might be because control has passed from the view? decorators.py:handle_uncaught_exception _is_ called, but I am unable to interject my ExceptCatcher with it. > These sorts of questions should be on django-users really. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. However there are a number of people on the web reporting that they are unable to trigger process_exception.
