Django support does not recognize always loaded custom template tags
Django supports autoloading of custom template tags in every template without having to call {% load xxx %} inside every template. (https://gilang.chandrasa.com/blog/autoload-custom-template-tags-in-django/)
PyCharm does not seem to recognize this.
In my case (Django 2.0, PyCharm Professional 2018.1) i have a base.py inside MyAppName.templatetags with my custom tags and i made them "global" by adding them to the builtins like this: (settings.py)
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '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',
'BIAdmin.context_processors.menu_entries',
],
'builtins': ['MyAppName.templatetags.base']
},
},
]
This works great but i don't get autocomplete for the custom tags, unless i use "{%load base %}" inside every template.
Is there a possibility to get autocomplete by the IDE for this kind of "always loaded" custom template tags, too?
