Issue
New to Flask and have some experience with python, when using render_template it simply does not render the template as well as not giving out any errors.
Code Here:
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__, template_folder= "/templates")
@app.route("/")
def index():
#return("Index str")
return render_template("index.html")
@app.route("/crawler")
def crawler():
return("WebCrawler str")
return render_template("crawler.html")
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
app.debug = True
HTML here (pretty certain file hierarchy is correct).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{url_for('static', filename='style.css')}}">
<meta charset = "utf-8">
<title> Index</title>
<head>
<body>
<p> This webserver hosts all webapps and will showcase any unfinished applications.
</p>
</body>
</html>
Solution
The default folder for the HTML files is templates. So create a folder called “templates” where your python file is located. Put any HTML files in that folder
