Django==2.2.14

Note This issue is not present when running Django-3.1.5. Things seem to work as expected.

Steps to reproduce Make it so one of your views will always raise an Exception. Launch the server and then make a request to the views endpoint.

The raised exception will cause the following subsequent stack trace to occur:

The same error happened to me, using the following environment:

python==3.8.11

Django==2.0.13 opentelemetry-api==1.4.1 opentelemetry-sdk==1.4.1 opentelemetry-exporter-jaeger==1.4.1 opentelemetry-propagator-b3==1.4.1 opentelemetry-instrumentation-django==0.23b2 opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging==0.23b2 opentelemetry-instrumentation-requests==0.23b2 opentelemetry-instrumentation-sqlite3==0.23b2

Another workaround that worked for me:

def fix_django_req(_, req):
    activation_key = "opentelemetry-instrumentor-django.activation_key"
    if activation_key in req.META:
        req.META[activation_key].__name__ = ""

DjangoInstrumentor().instrument(request_hook=fix_django_req)

Yeah, the stack trace is in common django code, but it is being caused by the contextmanager from Trace.use_span() not having a __name__ property. I do not fully understand why or if the context manager really should have __name__. But Django 2.2.14 is expecting to find it.

I have worked around the issue by subclassing the otel middleware:

class OTELWorkAroundFixMiddleware(_DjangoMiddleware):
    """
    Extension of OTEL django middleware that fixes an issue encounted when processing an
    unexpected exception during the handling of a request.  Another exception is encoutered
    during the handling of the exception.  There is an issue open for this at: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/issues/288

    The cause of the subsiquent exception is that the use_span context manager does not have
    a __name_ property.  I am extending the middleware to add this property.
    """

    def process_request(self, request):
        super().process_request(request)
        if self._environ_activation_key in request.META:
            # Add __name__ property to context manager so that it will not trigger an exception
            # during the processing of a proceeding exception when handling the request.
            request.META[self._environ_activation_key].__name__ = ""

Hope this help.
