jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound: index.html error

Question

I am trying to render the file index.html, but I keep getting

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound: index.html

when I try to render it. Why can't Flask find my template

app=Flask(__name__,template_folder='templates')


@app.route("/")
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')

and my file location is like (i chance Tamplates to tamplates)

File location

in your error image it is `Tamplates`, while in your code it is `templates`. here is the guide of how the folder structure for flask app looks like https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/tutorial/layout/ — Fareed Khan, Dec 30 '21 at 13:39
The error in your title doesn't match the error in your question. Also, for what it's worth, `flask.ext.sqlalchemy` is deprecated and should be `from flask_sqlalchemy import ...` — Wondercricket, Dec 30 '21 at 13:45

so you must define the template folder path like this.

if you named your template folder: Tamplates

Then use this

app = Flask(__name__, template_folder='Tamplates')
