CommandError: Error rendering template to disk about django-render-static HOT 2 CLOSED

thank you for the comprehensive answer, it works indeed with :

STATIC_TEMPLATES = {
    'ENGINES': [{
        'BACKEND': 'render_static.backends.StaticDjangoTemplates',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'app_dir': 'templates',  # search this directory in apps for templates
            'loaders': ['render_static.loaders.StaticAppDirectoriesBatchLoader'],
            'builtins': ['render_static.templatetags.render_static']
        },
    }],
    'templates': ['landing/home.html']
}

by the way, there's a typo in documentation at line 56 of https://github.com/bckohan/django-render-static/blob/main/doc/source/configuration.rst?plain=1, it says STATIC_TEMPALTES instead of STATIC_TEMPLATES

from django-render-static.

Hi @Etilem thanks for giving the library a try! By default the static template engine searches for static templates in a directory called static_templates. So if you rename your templates directory to static_templates it should work for you.

Alternatively you can configure the directory loaders will look in. Understand that the static templates engine is a close mirror of the normal templates configuration. This means the STATIC_TEMPLATES setting looks very similar to the TEMPLATES setting, but they are completely separate. STATIC_TEMPLATES controls the static templates rendering (at package or deployment time via renderstatic) and TEMPLATES controls Django's dynamic templates (at serving time via Django's views).

Here is an example configuration that would make renderstatic look in the templates directory instead:

STATIC_TEMPLATES = {
  'ENGINES': [
      'BACKEND': 'render_static.backends.StaticDjangoTemplates',
      'OPTIONS': {
          'app_dir': 'templates',  # search this directory in apps for templates
          'loaders': [
              'render_static.loaders.StaticAppDirectoriesBatchLoader',
           ],
          'builtins': ['render_static.templatetags.render_static']
      },
  ],
  'templates': ['landing/home.html']
}
