Minimal repro of LiveServerTestCase / Selenium / Windows bug

readme.md

This Gist is just a minimal repro of a bug (I think) in Django's LiveServerTestCase.

Once a site has some static files (eg CSS), then clicking on a link produces an ugly uncaught exception from the LiveServer thread, like this:

Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 1925)
Traceback (most recent call last):
