Ok, I do hope this one is a valid bug ticket!

Since the update from 3.1.8 to 3.2 I get a `TemplateDoesNotExist` error
for alle templates **not living in the main template folder** but within
my local apps.

Project structure:

Apps live under: myproject/apps/
Main template dir: myproject/templates
Templates for an app live under: myproject/apps/myapp/templates

My config:
{{{
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': ['templates'],
'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',
],
},
},
]
}}}

When I run my tests under 3.1.8, it works. When I update to 3.2 and run
them, it throws the `TemplateDoesNotExist` exceptions.

I'd be happy to assist in any way possible.

Comment (by Tim Graham):

I think the issue is that `DIRS` isn't an absolute path. If that worked in
previous versions, it was probably only by chance.

Comment:

Yes, `DIRS` should contain full paths as
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/templates/api/#the-dirs-option
documented], so in your case `'DIRS': [BASE_DIR / 'templates']`. It works
for me with the described project structure. Please use one of
[https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels
support channels] if you still have an issue with templates.
