Here I have two blue prints mainsite and usermanagement. I have registered this in file init.py under test_blueprint folder which is main folder (one below the blueprint_project folder which has run.py)
__init__ file under test_blueprint
from flask import Flask
app=Flask(__name__)
from test_blueprint.mainsite.controllers.controllers import mod
from test_blueprint.usermanagement.controllers.controllers import mod
app.register_blueprint(mainsite.controllers.controllers.mod,url_prefix="/" )
app.register_blueprint(usermanagement.controllers.controllers.mod,url_prefix="/usermanagement")
Now post that I have under each blueprint folder I have created init.py in which I have defined Blueprints along with template folder. However, I does not take template from there. It keeps on throwing error template not found. So, I have created template folder under test_blueprint folder. It perfectly picks index.html from templates/mainsite folder. Also, if i provided /home/user/flaskenv/blueprint_project/.... templates folder which is absolute path for my template under blueprint folder. it works fine.
Not sure if it's bug is flask. I saw video on youtube and expected my flask project to behave same. Unfortunately it didn't

This is my controller.py/views.py file looks like for mainsite
from flask import Blueprint,render_template,url_for
mod=Blueprint('mainsite',__name__,static_folder='static',template_folder='templates')
@mod.route("/")
def home():
return render_template('mainsite/homepage.html')
Now if I used os.path.abspath to locate template folder under blueprint folder, than passed that path as variable to template_folder and it works fine.
Now my expectation as per flask documentation is that just mentioning template_folder='templates' should automatically locate templates under blueprint folder or it entirely defeats the purpose.
Any help would apprecated
