django-tables2 : Error during template rendering

I am writing a simplest possible example of django-table2 it fails with Error during template rendering In template /myproject/app/templates/test_table.html, error at line 2 Any clue what's wrong here. just following document.

context

1 {% load render_table from django_tables2 %}

2 {% render_table table %}

3

model.py

class TestTable1(models.Model):
    col1 = models.CharField(max_length=1, primary_key=True)
    col2 = models.FloatField(blank=True, null=True)

    class Meta:
        managed = False
        db_table = 'test_table1'

class TestTable1Tbl(tables.Table):

    class Meta:
        model = TestTable1
        attrs = {"class":"paleblue"}

views.py

def test_table(request):

    table = TestTable1Tbl(TestTable1.objects.all())
    RequestConfig(request).configure(table)
    return render(request,"test_table.html",{'table':table})

template

$ more test_table.html

{% load render_table from django_tables2 %}
{% render_table table %}

Below is the error message

During handling of the above exception (could not convert string to float: 'table'), another exception occurred:

        return template.render(context.flatten())

I had this same problem, but the answer above initially puzzled me.

The table.html file seems to be the default template that render table expects to find. I found that specifically setting the template_name and adding the django_tables2 to the file path resolved the issue without copying the file from the django2 source.

So applying to the example above ( I also choose boostrap.html instead of table.html)

class TestTable1Tbl(tables.Table):

    class Meta:
        model = TestTable1
        attrs = {"class":"paleblue"}        
        template_name = 'django_tables2/bootstrap.html'

The problem was with table.html file. the issue is resolved after copied under /templates/django_tables/, Thank you.
