Stop swallowing all exceptions in
settings.py
.This is a broader swath than the original issue which only discussed removing the bare
try
/except
fromload_config()
. However, I can envision the same type of problem happening insave_config()
resulting in someone being confused why their configs aren't being saved.Likely we'll need to explicitly catch a handful of exceptions, but at this point we're not sure which ones they are.
I'm also very open to reworking this to only remove the one
try
/except
clause, but I figured might as well start the conversation by trying to fix all the things... 😄Fix #139
