Django Debug Toolbar installation

[Richard Jackson]

Hi everyone,

I've recently installed the Django Debug Toolbar for local use; I've just pushed the code online and am greeted with the below error:

[81.95.157.172] out: Traceback (most recent call last):

What should I do to resolve this?

Did you install debug_toolber on your server?

pip install django-debug-toolbar

Hi Vijay - that's going to be the problem; I've installed it locally but haven't installed it on my (Webfaction-provided) server.

Thanks,

Rich

So don't add it to installed apps. One common pattern is to only enable debug tools when settings.DEBUG is True.

 

So in settings.py make sure INSTALLED_APPS is a list (not a tuple), remove debug_toolbar and add this code:

 

if DEBUG:

INSTALLED_APPS.append('debug_toolbar')

 

Done.

 

Now, all you have to do is not enable DEBUG on the server. Of course, that's the same problem since you're pushing settings.py to the server. And for that, see how Mezzanine solved it using a local_settings.py that is not pushed to the server.
