Where should the template directory be for Django Haystack?

I'm following Haystack tutorial and trying to adapt it to my project. It says

You’ll need to create a new template inside your template directory called search/indexes/myapp/note_text.txt and place the following inside:

But I have put this in the 3 places I can think it might mean, but I still get TemplateDoesNotExist.

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • As already pointed out in the comments to the question:

    In the stacktrace that can be seen in the screenshot, the error message says it cannot find the template .../cards_text.txt; notice how the name is all lowercase.

    But the project structure that can be seen in the same screenshot shows a file named .../Cards_text.txt; notice how the name starts with a capital letter.

    You could either fix your code or rename the file.
