Client: testing exceptions in views (client.store_exc_info)

I want to test a view that throws an exception, and came up with the following code to make it work, so that the exception is not re-thrown by the client (code ref: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/test/client.py#L421-443):

def test_foo(client):
    def store_exc_info(*args, **kwargs):
        pass
    # client.store_exc_info = lambda *args, **kwargs: True
    client.store_exc_info = store_exc_info

    client.get('/raises-500')

Given that it was not trivial to figure this out I wonder if this is the correct approach and if pytest-django could help in this regard (documentation, helper, ...)

I will look into providing a documentation update for Django itself, but want to get some feedback first.

Start with the Django client.py section linked in the issue, especially client.store_exc_info, and review how pytest-django currently documents testing views that raise exceptions. Determine whether the result should be a documentation clarification or a pytest-django helper, then document or test the agreed approach so the exception-handling behavior is clear.
