This behavior seems counter intuitive, and contrary to what the
documentation says
For example: my settings.py file is as follows:
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',
],
},
},
]
According to this documentation, APP_DIR should behave as follows:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/overriding-templates/#overriding-from-an-app-s-template-directory
> With APP_DIRS
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-TEMPLATES-APP_DIRS>
set
to True, the template loader will look in the app’s templates directory and
find the templates.
This isn't the behavior that is happening. djang_admin and mysite are
technically separate apps, and have seperate template directories.
