    raise TemplateNotFound(template)
TemplateNotFound: static/themes/default/login.html

I am absolutely sure the login.html is there(static/themes/default/404.html).Why can this occur?

Python Solutions


Solution 1 - Python

You put your template in the wrong place. From the Flask docs:

Flask will look for templates in the templates folder. So if your application is a module, this folder is next to that module, if it’s a package it’s actually inside your package: See the docs for more information: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/quickstart/#rendering-templates

Solution 2 - Python

I think you shouldn't prepend themesDir. You only pass the filename of the template to flask, it will then look in a folder called templates relative to your python file.
