Application not picking up .css file (flask/python)

Question

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
          


        

Answer 1

I'm running version 1.0.2 of flask right now. The above file structures did not work for me, but I found one that did, which are as follows:

     app_folder/ flask_app.py/ static/ style.css/ templates/
     index.html

(Please note that 'static' and 'templates' are folders, which should be named exactly the same thing.)

To check what version of flask you are running, you should open Python in terminal and type the following accordingly:

import flask

flask --version
