Faced the same problem with the Django 1.6 tutorial... circumvented it by
renaming "index.html" to "poll_list.html".
Read on if you want to know more about this issue...
It seems there is a problem with the template loader, or the specification
of which template to load for the generic.ListView.
The generic.DetailView seems to find polls/detail.html and
polls.results.html templates easily enough.
However, IndexView cannot find polls/index.html.
This is not a template folder specification problem, as all these files are
in the same folder..
Also, Django specifically says in its error message
/home/user/website/myweb/polls/templates/polls/index.html,
polls/poll_list.html (File does not exist)
I don't understand what it means... is it looking for either of the files
"index.html" (this file exists and is at the correct location) or
"poll_list.html", or the weirder file "index.html, polls/poll_list.html".
In the latter case, "index.html, polls" is a directory with a ", " in its
name.
Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
- Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
- /home/user/website/myweb/templates/polls/index.html,
polls/poll_list.html (File does not exist)
- Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
-
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/polls/index.html,
polls/poll_list.html (File does not exist)
-
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/polls/index.html,
polls/poll_list.html (File does not exist)
- /home/user/website/myweb/polls/templates/polls/index.html,
polls/poll_list.html (File does not exist)
I tried a fun experiment... created a directory called "index.html, polls"
under polls/templates/polls and added a file called poll_list.html. On
refresh, the error message is
- /home/user/website/myweb/polls/templates/polls/index.html,
polls/poll_list.html (File exists)
The theory is correct... Django generic.ListView is looking into a weird
folder with ", " in its name.
Hopefully, this helps to track the problem.
