settings.py (os.path.join(BASE_DIR), 'templates', or /home/mainapp/templates) not working..

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['templates'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

article/views.py my def looks like:

def template_two(request):
    view = "template_two"
    t = get_template('myview.html')
    html = t.render(Context({'name': view}))
    return render(request, html, {})

My file:

mainapp/mainapp/settings.py
mainapp/mainapp/article/views.py
mainapp/templates/myview.html

Make "DIRS" blank in "TEMPLATES" in "settings.py". Django will find "templates" folder automatically:

# "mainapp/settings.py"

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        # 'DIRS': ['templates'],
        'DIRS': [], # Here
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

as of 05/05/2021, everything I had to do to resolve this error added the full path to the "DIRS" in settings.py

example:

settings.py

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [r'the path to the templates folder here'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

In Django 3.1.7, I just restarted the server "python manage.py runserver", it worked. My entry in settings.py is

        TEMPLATES = [
            {
                'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
                'DIRS': [],
                'APP_DIRS': True,
                'OPTIONS': {
                    'context_processors': [
                        'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                        'django.template.context_processors.request',
                        'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                        'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                    ],
                },
            },
        ]

Step 1: copy path of your Template.

enter image description here

Step 2: past copy path in DIRS in your setting.py >> "Template"

enter image description here

its work for me

The problem is that you are manually rendering your template and using the render shortcut at the same time. Your get_template is working, but when you call render(request, html, {}), Django is treating html as the filename, and looking for a template file named <!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>....

You should either render the template manually:

def template_two(request):
    view = "template_two"
    t = get_template('myview.html')
    html = t.render({'name': view})  # Note you should use a plain dictionary, not `Context` on Django 1.8+
    return HttpResponse(html)

Alternatively, it's simpler to use the render shortcut.

def template_two(request):
    view = "template_two"
    return render(request, "myview.html", {'name': view})

You should also change your DIRS setting back to use os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'). Using the string 'templates' is not going to work.

I would suggest that you put your temlates in your app.

Your file will then be here: 

mainapp/mainapp/templates/myview.html

Please make sure you add mainapp to your INSTALLED_APPS like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
   ...
   'mainapp',
]

In your settings.py you have 'DIRS': ['templates'],

And path to your template is mainapp/templetes/myview.html

You have typo templetes != templates. Rename folder with templates to templates.
