Cannot get django-debug-toolbar to appear

No matter what I do, I simply cannot get django-debug-toolbar to appear. I've tried everything suggested in every answer on this question.

When I run the app, I see no request in the console for any URLs containing django_debug_toolbar, so I suspect it's the application not being loaded.

I don't see any failed requests in the developer console, either.

I've read the django-debug-toolbar installation docs and am out of ideas.

Does anyone have any suggestions for debugging? I'm running OSX and Django 1.7. The curious thing is that debug-toolbar WAS appearing just fine - I think I've made some tweak that caused it to vanish, but I don't know what.

UPDATE: I've even tried adding this in my settings file, which is supposed to force the toolbar to appear: 

def show_toolbar(request):
    return True
SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK = show_toolbar

But it doesn't help.

I've also tried throwing a deliberate exception in my view, so that I can check DEBUG is on and all the settings are as above. They are, and still no toolbar!

UPDATE 2: When I set INTERNAL_IPS=('127.0.0.1',), I start to see debug-toolbar requests in the console, but no toolbar on the page.

And the following HTML appears in my page - so the toolbar is there, but it's not visible because it's got display=none set all over it:

Solution

  • All of the divs with display: none; are in fact behaving properly. They won't change to display: block; until you actually click on them in the toolbar itself.

    The button used to toggle the toolbar is the div with an id="djDebugToolbarHandle". As you can see in your console, this button has a top position of 2310px. What this means is that it is rendering, but it is just way down off the page.

    Try typing the following in the console to reset its position:

    document.getElementById('djDebugToolbarHandle').style.top="30px";
