Since RequestContext doesn't know its Engine until it's passed to
Template.render() -- and cannot without breaking a widely used public
API -- an elaborate hack is required to apply context processors.
Passed the engine instance to loaders. This is a prerequisite for
looking up configuration on the engine instance instead of global
settings.
This is backwards incompatible for custom template loaders that override
__init__. However the documentation doesn't talk about __init__ and the
way to pass arguments to custom template loaders isn't specified. I'm
considering it a private API.
This change preserves backwards-compatibility for a very common misuse
of render_to_response which even occurred in the official documentation.
It fixes that misuse wherever it happened in the code base and docs.
Context.__init__ is documented as accepting a dict and nothing else.
Since Context is dict-like, Context(Context({})) could work to some
extent. However, things get complicated with RequestContext and that
gets in the way of refactoring the template engine. This is the real
rationale for this change.
They were deprecated in Django 1.2 but not all the supporting code was
removed in Django 1.4. Since the remaining code was unlikely to be
functional (pun intended) e.g. it would crash unless the loader
function had an is_usable attribute, this commit completes the removal
immediately instead of starting another deprecation path.
This change has the nice side effect of removing code that ran at import
time and depended on the app registry at module level -- a notorious
cause of AppRegistryNotReady exceptions.
Since it isn't branded as a test utility any more and could be used for
other purposes than test code, that prefix no longer makes sense.
It wasn't used anywhere either.
Reformatted the code of base.Loader according to modern standards.
Turned the test template loader into a regular locmem.Loader -- but
didn't document it.
Added a normal deprecation path for BaseLoader which is a public API.
Added an accelerated deprecation path for TestTemplateLoader which is
a private API.
Added a test for the condition safe_join is designed to prevent.
Previously, a generic ValueError was raised. It was impossible to tell
an intentional exception raised to implement safe_join's contract from
an unintentional exception caused by incorrect inputs or unexpected
conditions. That resulted in bizarre exception catching patterns, which
this patch removes.
Since safe_join is a private API and since the change is unlikely to
create security issues for users who use it anyway -- at worst, an
uncaught SuspiciousFileOperation exception will bubble up -- it isn't
documented.
