PyCharm code inspection complains template file not found, how to fix?

Question

I'm new to PyCharm, and I'm trying to use it for Django development. My app is structured like this:

bs3app/ ├── __init__.py ├── templates │   └── home.html ├── urls.py └── views.py 

In bs3app/views.py, I get a warning:

Template file 'home.html' not found

The source code:

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response   def home(request):     return render_to_response('home.html') 

The template file is there in bs3app/templates/home.html. The home view works correctly when I run the site. On the Django Support page of the project, Enable Django Support is on, and the Django project root, Settings and Manage script values are all correct.

So, why am I getting the warning? As per this PyCharm doc page, I can mark the template directories explicitly and then the warning goes away, but why do I have to? Why can't PyCharm figure them out automatically, given the settings.py file of the project?

The project is on GitHub, if you need to see other files.

Answer 1

Just open the project view (view->tool windows -> project). There right-click on your templates-folder -> 'mark directory as'-> Template directory

Answer 2

Try adding TEMPLATE_LOADERS to your settings file if you don't have it. I think PyCharm looks for it and doesn't load it from Django default settings. It solved my problem.

settings.py:

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (     'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',     'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader', )
