I’m doing some django TDD samples following this article http://www.tdd-django-tutorial.com/tutorial/1/.

But when I try to run my testing I always got this problem,

Creating test database for alias 'default'...

TemplateDoesNotExist: 500.html

I’ve tried Postgres and Sqlite3, the same output tortured me a lot.

Does anyone knows why I get this?
Thank you in advance.

    The exception message states what went wrong.

    TemplateDoesNotExist: 500.html

    It seems you are missing the 500.html file from wherever django is looking for your templates. Make sure this file exists.

    I would assume that there is an internal error with your application, and Django is attempting to render it’s 500 Internal Server Error page, which is can’t find. There is probably an earlier exception that Django caught before this one happened.
