Django 2: TemplateDoesNotExist even if files placed properly

I have encountered interesting problem on Django 2.

In my settings.py I have written this:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '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',
            ],
        },
    },
]

After that I have created folder templates in my projects root folder.

Then I have created app with name front and added it into my settings.py INSTALLED_APPS:

app_image

Inside my views.py I have added this view:

def index(request):
    return render(request, 'front/index')

I have assigned its url like this:

url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),

When I'm trying to access to this view I get this error:

TemplateDoesNotExist at /
front/index

Why this happening? Did I miss something?

Change

def index(request):
    return render(request, 'front/index')

to

def index(request):
    return render(request, 'front/index.html')
