Django: issue with template path for tenant

I have an app where depending on its category, a tenant is either directed to the app (and templates) at /dashboard/templates/dashboard or /dashboard2/templates/dashboard2.

somehow, for dashboard2, the app is not found by Django and it tries to find those templates under dashboard.

here is a dashboard2/views.py

@method_decorator(login_required, name='dispatch')
class SupplierPage2(LoginRequiredMixin,APIView):
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        query = request.GET.get('search_ress', None)
        print(query)
        context = {}

        #if query and request.method == 'GET':
        Supplier = supplier2.objects.filter(supplier = query)
        print(Supplier)
       
        labels = Item2.objects.filter(fournisseur = query).values_list('reference', flat=True)[:10]
        print(labels)
        default_items = Item2.objects.filter(fournisseur = query).values_list('number_of_sales', flat=True)[:10]
        print(default_items)
        label1s = Item2.objects.filter(fournisseur = query).values_list('reference', flat=True)[:10]
        print(label1s)
        default_item1s = Item2.objects.filter(fournisseur = query).values_list('number_of_orders_placed', flat=True)[:10]
        print(default_item1s)
            
        context.update({'Supplier' : Supplier, 'labels':labels, 'default_items':default_items,'label1s':label1s, 'default_item1s':default_item1s})


        return render(request, 'Supplier2.html',context)

and the error:

TemplateDoesNotExist at /Supplier2.html
Supplier2.html
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    https://uname.website.net/Supplier2.html
Django Version: 3.0.5
Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist
Exception Value:    
Supplier2.html

and the traceback:

Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Using engine django:

when try specifying /dashboard2/Supplier2.html I still get the same error in Django:

TemplateDoesNotExist at /Supplier2.html
/dashboard2/Supplier2.html

here is what I have in settings.py for templates:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "dashboard/templates/dashboard", "dashboard2/templates/dashboard2")],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'django.template.context_processors.i18n'
            ],
        },
    },
]

at this point, I don’t know what else to try

Answer

Fix the settings as below:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "dashboard/templates/dashboard"), os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"dashboard2/templates/dashboard2")],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'django.template.context_processors.i18n'
            ],
        },
    },
]
