I am getting an error message as follows: TemplateSyntaxError: Unexpected end of template. Jinja was looking for the following tags: 'elif' or 'else' or 'endif'. The innermost block that needs to be closed is 'if'.
I am using a Linux environment and this code should calculate interest rates.There are seperate files for running the scripts and the function.However once running the program i am getting an error message at the page stating that theres an expected else statement before the following code:
return render_template('interest_form.html', calc_total=True).
Below is the full code:
from server import app, valid_time
from flask import request, render_template
from Calculator import Calculator
@app.route("/", methods=["POST", "GET"])
def interest_total():
if request.method == 'POST':
initial=float(request.form["initial"])
rate=float(request.form["rate"])
time=float(request.form["time"])
Calculator.total_interest(initial,rate,time)
total=Calculator.total_interest()
return render_template('interest_form.html', total=total)
return render_template('interest_form.html', calc_total=True)
@app.route('/time', methods=["POST", "GET"])
def time_interest():
if request.method == 'POST':
initial=float(request.form["initial"])
rate=float(request.form["rate"])
total=float(request.form["total"])
Calculator.time_required(initial,rate,total)
time=Calculator.time_required()
return render_template('interest_form.html', time=time)
return render_template('interest_form.html', calc_time=True)
@app.route('/credits', methods=['GET'])
def credits():
return render_template('credits.html')
I am trying using a html form to send the input:
<!doctype.html>
<head><h2>Interest</h2><head>
<html>
<body>
<div>
<form action="routes.py" method='POST'>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px">
<label>Amount Invested ($): </label><br/>
<input name="initial" placeholder="Amount Invested"/>
</div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px">
<label>Interest Rate (%): </label><br/>
<input name="rate" placeholder="Amount Invested"/>
</div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px">
<label>Time Investment (Years): </label><br/>
<input name="time" placeholder="Amount Invested" {%if calc_time %}disabled{% endif %}/>
</div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px">
<label>Total Interest ($): </label><br/>
<input name="total" placeholder="Amount Invested" {%if calc_total %}disabled{% endif %}/>
</div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
<div><p>{{initial}} and {{time}}</p></div>
{% if total %}<h4>Total amount is<h4>
<textarea name="Amount" rows="5" cols="20"> {{total}} </textarea>
</form>
</div>
<div>
<a href="file:///tmp_amd/cage/export/cage/4/project/templates/interest_form.html/time">Time Form</a>
<a href="file:///tmp_amd/cage/export/cage/4/project/templates/interest_form.html">Total Form</a>
<br/><a href="/credits">Credits Page</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I have used a different template code that has a similar function and return format and when running it there seems to be no problem with it.This,however,seems to be showing the abovementioned error message.
(EDIT:I have updated the following code):
{% if total %}<h4>Total amount is</h4>
<textarea name="Amount" rows="5" cols="20"> {{total}}</textarea>
{% endif %}
</form>
Howver the error message is now showing: jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: Unexpected end of template. Jinja was looking for the following tags: 'endblock'. The innermost block that needs to be closed is 'block'.

You need to close the if block in your template:
{% if total %}
<h4>Total amount is<h4>
<textarea name="Amount" rows="5" cols="20"> {{total}</textarea>
</form>
{% endif %}
Updated answer after the edit:
You need also an {% endblock %}at the end of the file for closing the {% block content %}at the top of the file.

I was getting a similar error - cause was a {% block content %} which I thought would not be affecting as it was commented out in HTML - turns out it was the culprit.
details:
jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: Unexpected end of template. Jinja was looking for the following tags: 'endblock'.The innermost block that needs to be closed is 'block'.
I know that each {% block content %} needs an {% endblock %} but what I didn't know was that if you have HTML comments around a {% block content %} , it doesn't work(i.e. it doesn't really get commented)
just putting it here in case anyone struggles the way I did for long before figuring it out. below in my html code, although this was commented, it was the culprit that was giving me that exception. `
<!--
{% block content %}
<table>
<tr valign='top'>
<td> <img src="{{ user.avatar(128) }}"></td>
-->
removing the {% block content %} from commented code solved it.
