Location for Django Rest framework exception handler












0














The DRF Docs say that once an exception handler is set up, it needs to be defined in the settings.py as follows:



REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'EXCEPTION_HANDLER': 'my_project.my_app.utils.custom_exception_handler'
}


My Django project layout is like this:



backend
settings.py
connectivity_service
utils
Custom404ErrorMessage.py


The project is called backend and the app name is connectivity_service.The Custom404ErrorMessage.py file contains the function custom_exception_handler which handles the exception.



My settings.py looks like this:



REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'EXCEPTION_HANDLER': 'backend.connectivity_service.utils.Custom404ErrorMessage'
}


However, this gives me the following error message:



ImportError: Could not import 'backend.connectivity_service.utils.Custom404ErrorMessage' 
for API setting 'EXCEPTION_HANDLER'. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
'backend.connectivity_service'.


What am i doing wrong ?

    You may need to point it to your exception handling function, i.e. "backend.connectivity_service.utils.Custom404ErrorMessage.custom_exception_handler"

    tried that..does not work..strangely the error is ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'backend.connectivity_service'. Looks like it is not able to import the project and app also. However, everything else in terms of the ORM, Views etc works.Only this section of the settings.py does not work.
