how to fix template does not exist in Django?
I am a beginner in the Django framework. I created my project created my app and test it, it work fine till I decided to add a template. I don't know where the error is coming from because I follow what Django docs say by creating folder name templates in your app folder creating a folder with your app name and lastly creating the HTML file in the folder.
NOTE: other routes are working fine except the template
Please view the screenshot of my file structure and error below. File Structure

Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
Using engine django:
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: C:\Users\Maxwell\Desktop\Django\WebApp\Blog\templates\ Blog\index (Source does not exist)
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: C:\Python39\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\ Blog\index (Source does not exist)
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: C:\Python39\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\templates\ Blog\index (Source does not exist)
App/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render
# Create your views here.
def index(request,name):
return HttpResponse(f'Hello {name}')
def html(request):
return render(request,' Blog/index.html')
It seems that you render the template with Blog/index
, but you need to specify the entire file name, so Blog/index.html
and without a leading (or trailing) space:
def html(request):
return render(request, 'Blog/index.html')
