manage.py validate [app] should display line numbers for syntax errors

Description

When running validate for an app whose models.py file or any file it includes contains a error (most commonly syntax or function argument errors), the listing does not display the offending line/line number/file. This can make deciphering the source of the error difficult--or simply inconvenient, as the info can be obtained by attempting to import the offending model.

This can't hurt and looks useful. Moving to "accepted" so that somebody can go to town and write a patch.

Has patch: set

Added patch.
Please note that non import ("custom") validation errors are still not handled.
For e.g. CharField requires maxlength property to be non-zero. In such cases the error messages will not contain file name, line number etc.

Patch needs improvement: set

django/db/models/loading.py has been refactored and this patch no longer applies.

comment:6 by Adam Vandenberg, 17 years ago

This doesn't look needed anymore; the refactoring to use an cache no longer does a try/catch around the dynamic imports, so any import-generated exceptions are dumped to the console already.
