Getting the template name in django template
The easy way:
Download and use the django debug toolbar. You'll get an approximation of what you're after and a bunch more.
The less easy way:
Replace Template.render
with django.test.utils.instrumented_test_render
, listen for the django.test.signals.template_rendered
signal, and add the name of the template to the context. Note that TEMPLATE_DEBUG
must be true in your settings file or there will be no origin from which to get the name.
if settings.DEBUG and settings.TEMPLATE_DEBUG
from django.test.utils import instrumented_test_render
from django.test.signals import template_rendered
def add_template_name_to_context(self, sender, **kwargs)
template = kwargs['template']
if template.origin and template.origin.name
kwargs['context']['template_name'] = template.origin.name
Template.render = instrumented_test_render
template_rendered.connect(add_template_name_to_context)
Templates are just strings not file names. Probably your best option is to monkey patch render_to_response
and/or direct_to_template
and copy the filename arg into the context.
