Problem: Running selenium tests with django using django-selenium test runner. As you might know this runs a test server for your selenium tests the same way good old fashioned django unit tests does it.
If you get a 500 it is really hard to debug ot having access to that instance of the server also DEBUG is set to False by Django for tests.
Solution: It is possible to really easily override where necessary:
from django.test.utils import override_settings
from django.conf import settings
class TestSomething(TestCase):
@override_settings(DEBUG=True)
def test_debug(self):
assert settings.DEBUG
