Root Cause

Template file missing from the configured templates folder, or the Flask app was created with a different root path.

generic

中文

模板文件不在配置的templates目录中，或者Flask应用使用了不同的根路径创建。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    app = Flask(__name__, template_folder='templates')
  2. 92% success 
    import os\napp = Flask(__name__, template_folder=os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'templates'))

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    Reload flag only affects caching, not missing files.

  2. 50% fail

    Works but bypasses template inheritance and is unmaintainable.
