Description

According to the documentation on error reporting (see here: ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/), broken link emails are only sent if the following conditions are true (and CommonMiddleware is enabled):

  • DEBUG is False
  • SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS is True

Right now, CommonMiddleware.py only checks the second condition:

if settings.SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS:
    ...

In this case, I believe the best fix is to keep Django in line with the documentation, since broken link emails are unnecessary in an environment where DEBUG = True. Here is a quick look at the fix:

if settings.SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS and not settings.DEBUG:

Patch added, so fix is ready. No test was added, since this should be very low risk and low impact.

Low impact isn't really the measure here -- regardless of impact, every change *could* regress behavior, so it should be tested.

However, in this case, the behavior is something that is difficult to accurately test for regression, because debug is turned off for testing purposes. *That* is a good reason to accept the patch without a test.
