Blueprint template not found

[serkandaglioglu]

Thank for flask-classy. I am coming from php codeigniter and flask-classy helped me very much.

I have a problem.
i am trying to do that example http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/blueprints/#templates .

My application structure

/app
    /modules
        /module_test
            controllers.py
            /templates
                 /test
                      index.html
    /templates

/app/modules/module_test/controllers.py

test = Blueprint('test', "mest", template_folder='templates' )

class TestController(FlaskView):

    def index(self):
        return render_template( "test/index.html", **self.viewData )

TestController.register(test)

When i tried blueprint without flask-classy it worked, but when i tried with flask-classy it did not work , the error is "jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound TemplateNotFound: test/index.html".
i put index.html in /app/templates/test/index.html and i tried with flask classy it worked.

i want to put template files in blueprint that "/app/modules/module_test/templates". How can i solve this problem?

I did this change

from

test = Blueprint('test', "mest", template_folder='templates' )

to

test = Blueprint('test', "mest", template_folder='app/modules/module_test/templates' )

it worked.

But Flask documentation says that:

admin = Blueprint('admin', __name__, template_folder='templates')

As for static files, the path can be absolute or relative to the blueprint resource folder. The template folder is added to the searchpath of templates but with a lower priority than the actual application’s template folder. That way you can easily override templates that a blueprint provides in the actual application.

So if you have a blueprint in the folder yourapplication/admin and you want to render the template 'admin/index.html' and you have provided templates as a template_folder you will have to create a file like this: yourapplication/admin/templates/admin/index.html.

[danielchatfield]

admin = Blueprint('admin', name, template_folder='templates')

You are not following the documentation, you need to actually pass __name__ into Blueprint
