python - get_template_names(self) doesn't work in TemplateView -


i'm trying use pdfview django-pdfkit. problem don't have 1 template. instead have 4 templates. template chosen depends on request.get parameter.

so i've created view called test extends pdfview.

class test(pdfview):      def get_template_names(self):         # don't bother chosing template         return ["pdf/dobropis_pdf_template.html"]      def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):         doklad = get_object_or_404(doklad, pk=self.request.get.get('id'))         return {'doklad':doklad} 

the problem if don't specify template_name, returns:

templatedoesnotexist @ /render/doklad/ none

so suppose get_template_names method isn't called.

why so? how can make work?

this urls.py:

url(r'^render/doklad/', views.test.as_view(), name="doklad_to_pdf"), 

this pdfview (in case helps):

class pdfview(templateview):     #: set change filename of pdf.     filename = none      #: set default pdf display inline.     inline = false      #: set pdfkit options dict.     pdfkit_options = none      def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):         """         return httpresponse either of pdf file or html.          :rtype: httpresponse         """         if 'html' in request.get:             # output html             content = self.render_html(*args, **kwargs)             return httpresponse(content)          else:             # output pdf             content = self.render_pdf(*args, **kwargs)              response = httpresponse(content, content_type='application/pdf')              if (not self.inline or 'download' in request.get) , 'inline' not in request.get:                 response['content-disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s' % self.get_filename()              response['content-length'] = len(content)              return response      def render_pdf(self, *args, **kwargs):         """         render pdf , returns bytes.          :rtype: bytes         """         html = self.render_html(*args, **kwargs)          options = self.get_pdfkit_options()         if 'debug' in self.request.get , settings.debug:             options['debug-javascript'] = 1          kwargs = {}         wkhtmltopdf_bin = os.environ.get('wkhtmltopdf_bin')         if wkhtmltopdf_bin:             kwargs['configuration'] = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf=wkhtmltopdf_bin)          pdf = pdfkit.from_string(html, false, options, **kwargs)          return pdf      def get_pdfkit_options(self):         """         returns ``self.pdfkit_options`` if set otherwise default dict of options supply pdfkit.          :rtype: dict         """         if self.pdfkit_options not none:             return self.pdfkit_options          return {             'page-size': 'a4',             'encoding': 'utf-8',         }      def get_filename(self):         """         return ``self.filename`` if set otherwise return template basename ``.pdf`` extension.          :rtype: str         """         if self.filename none:             name = splitext(basename(self.template_name))[0]             return '{}.pdf'.format(name)          return self.filename      def render_html(self, *args, **kwargs):         """         renders template.          :rtype: str         """         static_url = '%s://%s%s' % (self.request.scheme, self.request.get_host(), settings.static_url)         media_url = '%s://%s%s' % (self.request.scheme, self.request.get_host(), settings.media_url)          override_settings(static_url=static_url, media_url=media_url):             template = loader.get_template(self.template_name)             context = self.get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)             html = template.render(context)             return html 

by overriding get, you've bypassed all built-in functionality view, including calling of get_template_names. right thing do.

however, given code you've shown, what's reason why can't call method render_html? or inline logic there.
