lookup plugins eating exceptions?

Scott_Anderson · April 25, 2014, 2:34pm

I had to add some try/catch logic in template.py to discover that there was an issue with the template I was using in lookup(‘template’). The plugin was just returning empty string due to the template error.

Are the lookup plugins supposed to eat exceptions?

Lookup plugins not raising exceptions is a known issue at the moment – though I’m not positive there’s a ticket. Please see if there is one and if not please file it.
