jinja_code.py

import jinja2
env=jinja2.Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader(searchpath="./"))
template=env.get_template('file.j2')
render_template=template.render(test1="TEST1",test2="TEST2")
print(render_template)

file.j2

{{ context.test1 }}

I'm learning Jinja2 and I understood that context are the variables that are passed to Template but when I execute the above code, i get the below error

jinja2.exceptions.undefinederror: 'context' is not defined

I've read the docs and I couldn't understand it completely. Can you please explain what is context and how it is used to access the variables?

django-templates jinja2 templates python

Context contains the dynamic content that you want to inject in your template when it is being rendered.

In your example, the file file.j2 must have the following content:

{{ test1 }}

As context is not a variable but the collection of all variables you pass to the template. test1 and test2 are part of the context.
