Template file path

I'm trying to open and read this html file with in my django project, however i'm getting this [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'test.html'.

html = 'test.html'
open_html = open(html, 'r')
soup =  BeautifulSoup(open_html, "html5lib")
open_html.close()

But the template path seems to work fine when rendered

template = 'test.html'
context = {
}
return render(request, template, context)

TEMPLATES = [
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "templates")],
]

I know my templates are suppose to go into my apps folders, however i like to keep them in one folder when developing and debugging.

Because you are trying to access file from templates so you need to add full path

Try following solution

from your_project_name.settings import BASE_DIR
path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates', 'test.html')
with open(path, 'r') as open_html:
    soup =  BeautifulSoup(open_html, "html5lib")

Hope this is help you
