Django app works fine, but getting a TEMPLATE_* warning message

Question

When I use runserver, it gives this warning message:

(1_8.W001) The standalone TEMPLATE_* settings were deprecated in Django 1.8 and the TEMPLATES dictionary takes precedence. You must put the values of the following settings into your default TEMPLATES dict: TEMPLATE_DEBUG.

Quoth the Django Documentation:

"TEMPLATE_DEBUG Deprecated since version 1.8: Set the 'debug' option in the OPTIONS of a DjangoTemplates backend instead."

Here is my settings.py with my futile attempts to fix it:

DEBUG = True  TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG  TEMPLATES = [     {         'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',         'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'myapp/templates')],         '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',             ],             'debug': DEBUG,             'DEBUG': DEBUG,             'TEMPLATE_DEBUG': DEBUG         },     }, ] 

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Set debug in OPTIONS dictionary of your templates settings.

DEBUG = True  TEMPLATES = [     {         ...         'OPTIONS': {             'debug': DEBUG,         },     }, ] 

Then remove this line from your settings to stop the warnings

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG 

See the Django docs for detailed instructions how to update your template settings.

Answer 2

remove APP_DIRS and add the loaders inside the templates. example:

TEMPLATES = [     {         'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',         'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]         ,         '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',             ],             'loaders': [                'django_jinja.loaders.AppLoader',                 'django_jinja.loaders.FileSystemLoader',             ]         },     }, ]
