I’m building a user authentication app in django, and following this tutorial:
https://dev.to/earthcomfy/django-reset-password-3k0l

I’m able to successfully get to the password_reset.html template, where I can enter an email address and submit.

If I enter an email that is not associated with a user, the success_message from the ResetPasswordView is triggered, but if I enter a valid email address, associated with a user, I get the error.

I did everything as per the tutorial, and I’ve verified that my email configs work by using EmailMessage module from the django shell to send emails.

my ResetPasswordView:

class ResetPasswordView(SuccessMessageMixin, PasswordResetView):
    template_name = 'users/password_reset.html'
    email_template_name = 'users/password_reset_email.html'
    subject_template_name = 'users/password_reset_subject'
    success_message = "We've emailed you instructions for setting your password, " 
                      "if an account exists with the email you entered. You should receive them shortly." 
                      " If you don't receive an email, " 
                      "please make sure you've entered the address you registered with, and check your spam folder."
    success_url = reverse_lazy('users-home')

I have all the templates in that class in the relevant places. The password_reset_subject is a .txt file as per the tutorial.

Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Using engine django:

django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /Users/.../user_management/users/templates/users/password_reset_subject (Source does not exist)

but that is exactly where the password_reset_subject.txt file is. I thought maybe it should be .html but it should be a .txt according to the tutorial author.
