I am using Django Debug Toolbar to debug and optimize my website. I am also using some custom middleware to do things such as checking to see if a user is logged in and is allowed to access the url they are trying to view, querying ads, etc.
In this middleware, sometimes SQL queries are performed, but the queries don't show up under the 'queries' panel in DDT. Is there any way to get DDT to recognize and track middleware?
According to the documentation:
The order of MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES is important. You should include the Debug Toolbar middleware as early as possible in the list. However, it must come after any other middleware that encodes the response’s content, such as GZipMiddleware.
The solution is to put debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware before your custom middleware in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.
