Template not found when i run python manage.py runserver on pydriod 3 app

Question

I've been trying to create a blog with django using my phone and so far until yesterday it has been a success. I was creating my home page yesterday and when I run python manage.py runserver it returns a template not found error. What can be the issue?

This is my views.py


from django.shortcuts import render

# Create your views here.
def home(request):
 
       returnrender(request,'newfile.html')

This is my urls.py

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    
    path('', views.home, name="homepage"),

]

This is my settings.py

            ],
        },
    },


]

I made sure to avoid any spelling errors or indentation errors. What can be the problem?

First you should not post your secret key here.

Than you do have a a spelling error in def home(request):

returnrender(request,'newfile.html')

If thats correct on your local project:

What is the path to your templatefile ? It should be: myapp/template/myapp/home.html
