Django app works fine, but getting a TEMPLATE_* warning message

Question

When I use runserver, it gives this warning message:

(1_8.W001) The standalone TEMPLATE_* settings were deprecated in
Django 1.8 and the TEMPLATES dictionary takes precedence. You must put
the values of the following settings into your default TEMPLATES dict:
TEMPLATE_DEBUG.

Quoth the Django Documentation:

"TEMPLATE_DEBUG Deprecated since version 1.8: Set the 'debug' option
in the OPTIONS of a DjangoTemplates backend instead."

Here is my settings.py with my futile attempts to fix it:

DEBUG = True



TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG



TEMPLATES = [

    {

        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',

        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'myapp/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',

            ],

            'debug': DEBUG,

            'DEBUG': DEBUG,

            'TEMPLATE_DEBUG': DEBUG

        },

    }, ]

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Set debug in OPTIONS dictionary of your templates settings.

DEBUG = True

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ...
        'OPTIONS': {
            'debug': DEBUG,
        },
    },
]

Then remove this line from your settings to stop the warnings

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG
