Application not picking up .css file (flask/python)
I am rendering a template, that I am attempting to style with an external style sheet. File structure is as follows.
/app
- app_runner.py
/services
-
I have read multiple threads and none of them fixed the issue that people are describing and I have experienced too.
I have even tried to move away from conda and use pip, to upgrade to python 3.7, i have tried all coding proposed and none of them fixed.
And here is why (the problem):
by default python/flask search the static and the template in a folder structure like:
/Users/username/folder_one/folder_two/ProjectName/src/app_name/and /Users/username/folder_one/folder_two/ProjectName/src/app_name/ you can verify by yourself using the debugger on Pycharm (or anything else) and check the values on the app (app = Flask(name)) and search for teamplate_folder and static_folder
in order to fix this, you have to specify the values when creating the app something like this:
TEMPLATE_DIR = os.path.abspath('../templates') STATIC_DIR = os.path.abspath('../static') # app = Flask(__name__) # to make the app run without any app = Flask(__name__, template_folder=TEMPLATE_DIR, static_folder=STATIC_DIR)the path TEMPLATE_DIR and STATIC_DIR depend on where the file app is located. in my case, see the picture, it was located within a folder under src.
you can change the template and static folders as you wish and register on the app = Flask...
In truth, I have started experiencing the problem when messing around with folder and at times worked at times not. this fixes the problem once and for all
the html code looks like this:
This the code
Here the structure of the folders
