What steps can I take to get Flask's render_template function to work in PythonAnywhere with a new project?

Question

I am an experienced programmer, new to PythonAnywhere. I setup a new project, and tried to do render_template("/home/myusername/mysite/templates/testFile.html") I keep getting errors that the file is not found. Tried "templates/testFile.html" Tried "mysite/templates/testFile.html" All of these attempts result in FileNotFound errors. Any suggestions for me please? Thanks in advance, Victor

try testFile.html without paths. If it does not work, you have an issue with flask not recognizing 'templates' folder.
