Exception propagation via PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS config setting does not work

[jakubsvehla]

When setting the PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS config variable to True, the ASGI app does not propagate the exceptions but instead returns the traceback as HTML. The expected behavior is to propagate the exception so that, for example, debuggers can handle it. The propagation works when setting the testing flag to True.

Below is the minimal reproducible example:

from quart import Quart

app = Quart(__name__)
app.config["PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS"] = True


@app.route("/")
def bug():
    1 / 0

Environment:

• Python version: 3.12
• Quart version: 0.19.8
