Pytest-Django: Uncaught Exception is unfortunately hidden

I use pytest-django and the uncaught exception is unfortunately hidden

@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_foo(client):
    url = reverse('foo')
    response = client.get(url)
    assert response.status_code == 200

I get:

E       assert 500 == 200
Assertion failed

How can I configure pytest to show the real exception (and not the http 500 response)?

Since pytest uses assert statements for its tests we can take advantage of the extended form of the assert statement as shown here.

In your case it would look like:

@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_foo(client):
    url = reverse('foo')
    response = client.get(url)
    assert response.status_code == 200, response.exception_reason

The syntax for retrieving the Exception in your case might be slightly different but hopefully you understand what needs to be changed.
