How do I get a “debug” variable in my Django template context?

Question

According to this SO post:

How to check the TEMPLATE_DEBUG flag in a django template?

if:

• A) my settings.py file has:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ['django.core.context_processors.debug',...

• and B) I use a RequestContext (as opposed to a Context)

I should have a "debug" variable to my template context. However, I don't: when I do {{debug}} in a template, it renders as nothing ("").

Is there anything else I'm missing that is necessary to get a "debug" var in the template context?

You also need to ensure the request's IP address is in the INTERNAL_IPS in your settings (which you probably don't have set): https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/templates/api/#django-template-context-processors-debug
