AttributeError: module 'django.views.debug' has no attribute 'CURRENT_DIR'

Hello! I have a Django application hooked up to Rollbar, but when server errors occur, there seems to be some errors in the Rollbar library code that also get dumped and produce quite a bit of noise.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/wsgiref/handlers.py", line 137, in run

    with Path(debug.CURRENT_DIR, 'templates', 'technical_500.html').open() as fh:
AttributeError: module 'django.views.debug' has no attribute 'CURRENT_DIR'

For each error that happens in my application, the above error from Rollbar is logged multiple times and makes it quite difficult to sift through logs to find the application error.

My ROLLBAR config is set to:

ROLLBAR = {
    'access_token': '<token>',
    'environment': 'development',
    'root': str(BASE_DIR),
}

Any help on this would be much appreciated!

@rishindoshi what are you defining BASE_DIR as? Also, do you have a custom 500 page and, if so, how is it configured?

[rishindoshi]

Hey @ezarowny my BASE_DIR is defined as BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent which resolves to my project root directory. I do not have a custom 500 page.

[ezarowny]

@rishindoshi Django version and pyrollbar version??

[rishindoshi]

@ezarowny Django version 4.0 and rollbar version 0.16.2

[ezarowny]

I haven't had a chance to upgrade our app to Django 4.0 yet (we're only one version behind though) but I'll pop back here in when I do because I'll likely run into the same problem.

[ezarowny]

Okay, I was able to replicate this. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on.

[ezarowny]

Here's the relevant change from Django: django/django@9ee693b#diff-eb948fbc65f2117752334d2fc61d04bfbb635aa3d91f7e1b652376efea04e658

@ezarowny Thanks for looking into this again! Lmk if I can provide any more info for you

[ezarowny]

#400 might do it

Closing because it appears this has already been fixed.
