I have my Code in Credit.py file

following is my Procfile :

web: gunicorn Credit:app

following is my requirement.txt :

Click==7.0
Flask==1.1.1
Flask-SQLAlchemy==2.4.0
Flask-WTF==0.14.2
gunicorn==19.9.0
itsdangerous==1.1.0
Jinja2==2.10.1
MarkupSafe==1.1.1
SQLAlchemy==1.3.5
Werkzeug==0.15.4
WTForms==2.2.1

Directory Structure :

|   .gitignore
|   Credit.py
|   Procfile
|   requirements.txt
|   site.db
|   tree.txt
|   
+---env
+---templates
|   |   about.html
|   |   accounts.html
|   |   home.html
|   |   layout.html
|   |   transactions.html
|   |   users.html
|   |   
|   \---includes
|           _navbar
|           _navbar.html
|           
\---__pycache__
        Credit.cpython-37.pyc

Didn't add the env directory structure because it was too big

My credit.py file is too big to share,so it can be viewed at : https://github.com/Shrikant991/Credit-Management-System-in-Flask/blob/master/Credit.py

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

the letter 't' for 'templates' need to be capitalised. 'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'Templates')],

Answer 2

As per your git repo and the directory structure most likely its due to case sensitivity for folder templates t should be small.

Try editing your code to this. app = Flask(__name__, template_folder='Templates') Or rename your Templates folder to templates
