#29446 new New feature

Include template context in error page when relevant

Description

When an error is encountered while rendering a template (in Debug mode), Django helpfully displays the template source, followed by the usual stack-trace with local variable values. It could be useful to also include the template context at the point of the error, as these are often the relevant "local variables".

While the context is actually often available as a local variable in one of the function calls close to the bottom of the stack trace, it is not obvious, and requires a somewhat tedious search (there are usually a series of calls taking a context variable, most of them irrelevant).

Shai,

Can you elaborate on what you mean? Are you suggesting we put the local context variables in a special section instead of with the rest of the local variables?

Hi Shai Berger,
Could you give some more information about this feature request?
It would be nice to have some example of error page you would like to see.

If anyone else has any idea what the expected error page should look like, please comment.
