debug:django

Debug Django IntegrityError and migration conflicts by following a structured diagnostic workflow for root cause investigation, pattern analysis, and hypothesis testing. The process guides you through ORM inspection and database configuration checks to isolate constraint violations.

Diagnose Django N+1 queries by enabling Django Debug Toolbar to capture SQL queries and inspecting the ORM. The workflow integrates with shell_plus to interactively test query optimization patterns and verify that eager loading resolves the inefficiency.

Trace Django CSRF failures by enabling Django Debug Toolbar to capture request data and using pdb or ipdb for interactive debugging. This combination allows you to inspect stack traces and middleware configuration to isolate the authentication or token validation issue.

The Django debugging workflow integrates with django-extensions shell_plus for interactive debugging, but it remains functional without it. You can still execute the four-phase methodology using standard pdb, ipdb, and Django Debug Toolbar to capture logs and stack traces.

Django import errors often stem from misconfigurations or circular dependencies. Trace them by applying the root cause investigation phase of the debugging workflow, using logging and interactive pdb sessions to inspect stack traces and isolate the failing module path.
