Django test project TemplateDoesNotExist at /

问题

I know this question has been asked many times but even after resolving all the things I am still getting this error. My setup is as follow -

settings.py

    """

as its appearing in the error page. I have a file defined in this folder signup.html

My view appears as -

    from django.shortcuts import render, render_to_response, RequestContext

# Create your views here.
def home(request):
    return render_to_response("signup.html", locals(), context_instance=RequestContext(request))

this view appears inside an app named signups which has been added to settings.py already in my project as -

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'signups'
)

Lastly urls.py of my project -

    urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', "signups.views.home", name='home'),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Can someone please help me why i am getting this error

TemplateDoesNotExist at / signup.html

I am using django 1.8.3.

Thanks in advance

回答1:

The TEMPLATE_DIRS setting should only be configured if you are loading templates that do not belong to any application.

In your case you have a template signup.html that is for the signups application; so you should do this:

1. First, get rid of the TEMPLATE_DIRS setting. In django 1.8 this setting was removed anyway (see this page on the new template configuration).

2. Create a directory called templates in the same directory that has the views.py for your signups app, it should look like this:

   signups/
      migrations/
      __init__.py
      admin.py
      models.py
      tests.py
      views.py
      templates/
          signups/
   

3. In this signups/templates/signups/ directory, create your signup.html file.

4. Now, in your view you need:

   from django.shortcuts import render
   
   def home(request):
       return render(request, 'signups/signup.html')
