Zope 3 exception views
Project description
This packages provides Zope 3 browser views for some generic exceptions.
System Errors
System Errors are errors representing a system failure. At the application level, they are errors that are uncaught by the application and that a developer hasn’t provided a custom error view for.
Zope provides a default system error view that prints an obnoxius terse message and that sets the response status.
To see an example of this, we’ll create a ZPT page with an intentional error:
>>> print http(r""" ... POST /+/zope.app.zptpage.ZPTPage%3D HTTP/1.1 ... Authorization: Basic mgr:mgrpw ... Content-Length: 739 ... Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------125598457818223697821067764270 ...

Location: http://localhost/@@contents.html ...
When we visit it, we get a terse error and a 500 status:
We get a system error, because the problem is in the template, not in the URL:
>>> print http(r""" ... GET /test.html HTTP/1.1 ... """) HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error ... A system error occurred. ...
Another way of getting a system error is the occurrence of a system error, such as ComponentLookupError. I have registered a simple view in exception-ftesting.zcml that will raise a component lookup error. So if we call componentlookuperror.html, we should get the error message:
>>> print http(r""" ... GET /componentlookuperror.html HTTP/1.1 ... """) HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error ... A system error occurred. ...
