I tried to reproduce this over here, but I can't remember this exactly, and I also don't care anymore.

IMHO you can close this.

As far as I can tell, this problem still exists, but without any comments in the code about why this is done and without any code to demonstrate the problem it causes, and without any lobbyists for change, I'm afraid this report will need to be closed soon.  I'm too chicken to change it, and it appears everybody else is too. ;-)  I don't believe I've actually ever *used* dtml-raise, in any case.

I don't need justification, I'm just trying to understand the
problem better. Being able to trigger it helps tremendously.
(I saw the original code you mentioned but I couldn't figure out
how to trigger it.) Where is new-found code that does it too?

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't, but I found a set of other 
points in the code where the same things happen.
If you need justification I can provide some reasoning for this.

Can you post some example code to duplicate the situtation this arises in?  Thanks.

Just a little reminder. Could somebody please reject or accept this? Thanks.

DocumentTemplate/DT_Raise.py at line 55 catches exceptions anonymously and reraises them with a default error message. This is problematic e.g. when you call PageTemplates from dtml which raise errors.

This error got hidden from the user for example:

sys.exc_type = Products.PageTemplates.TALES.TALESError

sys.exc_value = NotFound on None in "standard:'here/actions | nothing'", at line 57, column 7

Why not using sys.exc_type and sys.exc_value when we catch an anonymous exception? They can give the developer far more information about what is weird (and why ...) then an default replacement string.
