Django Part 1 - TemplateDoesNotExist

skyhon · October 14, 2021, 11:28pm

I am at Django Fundamentals: 10-Using Templates. I followed everything that Mosh did, but for some reason, I am getting a TemplateDoesNotExist error. I tried Stackoverflow’s solutions, but it didn’t seem to help.

Below is the output of the error when I go to http://localhost:8000/playground/hello/ :

# TemplateDoesNotExist at /playground/hello/

hello.html

## Template-loader postmortem

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Sounds like whatever template you’re trying to render at that endpoint /playground/hello/ doesn’t exist or it can’t find it…

Typo?
Path Incorrect?

skyhon · October 15, 2021, 9:18pm

I think the end point is correct bc I don’t get an error when it returns an HttpResponse object (“Hello World” text w/o html) instead of the html template.

some_random_coder · October 16, 2021, 12:22am

Do you have the hello.html in the playground/templates folder? no typo?

skyhon · October 16, 2021, 3:29am

Yes, playground/templates/hello.html

Spelled correctly. No typo.

some_random_coder · October 16, 2021, 5:09am

Okay, that’s certainly weird.

Your template-loader postmortem shows that it didn’t even tried to search playground app.
Also, upon checking your trace log, I found that the INSTALLED_APP settings doesn’t include playground app.

I know you said your endpoint works without templates, so I think you are including the playground app… But, can you check the INSTALLED_APP setting just in case?

The problem is definitely there but I’m not sure what’s causing it.

If there’s no issue, you can try manually including template search directory and place your html there

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [<Your custom template directory goes here>],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            # ... some options here ...
        },
    },
]

skyhon · October 16, 2021, 2:29pm

Manually including template search directory (in DIRS of settings.py) solves the problem. It seems a bit of a hassle unless all your templates are in a single directory. That’ll do for now. Appreciate your patient and help!

some_random_coder · October 16, 2021, 2:39pm

It’s a really odd issue that shouldn’t occur in a battle-tested framework like Django. If you have time you should try running the code provided by the course and see if that makes any difference.

Anyway, if you are using the template system at all, it’s very common to organize all your templates at the project level template directory with subdirectories named after app.

Cheers

I get this same error.

Template-loader postmortem

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Using engine django :

django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/hello.html (Source does not exist)
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/hello.html (Source does not exist)

I’m new to django and I’m not clear what "Manually including template search directory (in DIRS of settings.py) " means.

Is it the DIRS in settings.py in the TEMPLATES variable?

TEMPLATES = [
{
‘BACKEND’: ‘django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates’,
‘DIRS’: [],
‘APP_DIRS’: True,
‘OPTIONS’: {
‘context_processors’: [
‘django.template.context_processors.debug’,
‘django.template.context_processors.request’,
‘django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth’,
‘django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages’,
‘playground’
],
},
},
]

If so, what should that be set to? Can it be set to a relative path?

skyhon · November 27, 2021, 11:37pm

/storefront/settings.py:

...
TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['./playground/templates/'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]
...

Hi, everyone, to fix this issue you need to go into the main app settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'playground.apps.PlaygroundConfig' -- Add this line, this allow Django to search in this app location for the template folder.
]

overnight · February 17, 2022, 5:20pm

You can tell me why this line work?

nischal · March 29, 2022, 1:55pm

i think it is because we are letting django know that there exists an app named playground which may have other directories like templates.

convurtapp · May 12, 2022, 10:22am

I had the same issue, and it ended up that I did not add a , after the ‘playground.apps.PlaygroundConfig’ line. All I did was add the , and it started working!

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'playground.apps.PlaygroundConfig', <---- , after line
]

sasquatch · May 18, 2022, 2:27am

This is the answer. I was having the same issue, but before appending ‘.apps.PlaygroundConfig’ to the line, I just appended the comma:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin', # admin interface for managing data
    'django.contrib.auth', # manage users
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.messages', # Display one-time notifications to users
    'django.contrib.staticfiles', # Serve static files (images, pdf, etc)
    'playground', <---
]

oison · March 19, 2023, 8:57pm

In settings.py, just add comma after ‘movies.apps.MoviesConfig’

Djangogo · February 25, 2024, 8:20pm

Worked like a charm for me too! After untold lost time, all I needed was a comma! Welcome to programming!
