Is there an ez way to display the output of error templates?

I'm trying to test the newly designed error documents and there doesn't seem to be an easy way of displaying the output... (except the module not found/view not found, etc.)

I know I can pretty easily write something to generate errors but does it already exist? Or, am I not thinking of something like a layout/set/error/<number>?

Hi,

Try adding this :

[DebugSettings]

DebugOutput=enabled

Debug=popup

to your settings/override/site.ini.appaend.php

it will generate a popup displaying the errors and worning of the current template every time you load a page.

Thanks, but that's not what I mean.

What I mean is that I want an easy way to see the templates that I'm overriding:

templates/error/kernel/<error number>.tpl

Steven, I believe this INI settings is what you are looking for:

No, I didn't want the list of used templates. What I meant is something that would display the output of the error templates - a way of generating a fake error condition.

What I did was write a one module, one view extension that just passes the error number to the error handler - I was just hoping that there was some easy way of doing this, I mean, I'm sure I'm not the first person who ever wanted to test error templates.

<?php

/*
# The following error codes for kernel is currently defined
# 1  - Access denied
# 2  - Object not found
# 3  - Object not available
# 20 - Module not found
# 21 - Module view not found
# 22 - Module or view disabled
# 50 - No DB connection
*/

$Module  = $Params['Module'];
$errorId = $Params['errorId'];
return $Module->handleError( $errorId );

?>

Edit - (D'oh) there is an easy way, all I needed to do was go to:

error/view/kernel/<error number>

error/view/shop/<error number>

Steven, if you have used the ini settings I mentioned I believe you could have found your solution in less than a minute.

By enabling "ShowUsedTemplates" (together with enabling DebugOutput) you would get at the bottom of the page a list of templates that are used to render your view, right?
