I am getting:

TemplateDoesNotExist: django_filters/rest_framework/form.html

I have:

django-filter==0.15.3
djangorestframework==3.5.3

Perhaps the issues was introducted by?: https://github.com/carltongibson/django-filter/commit/48f35b2b18f942a912ed25b43fcdf6de065c686c

I also have this which might be causing issues:

djangorestframework-filters==0.9.0

[cancan101]

Looks like the issue has been fixed: https://github.com/philipn/django-rest-framework-filters/pull/129

I also get this error, using:

django==1.10.6
django-filter==1.0.2
djangorestframework==3.6.2

If I revert to the following, then it works.

django-filter==0.15.3

Hi @timothycoutlakis - I believe this is the same issue as #666. You may need to add 'django_filters' to INSTALLED_APPS.

Thank you @rpkilby, that solved it.

@Adding 'django-filters' in the apps list inside settings.py solved the issue. I was using following configuration as well

django==1.10.6
django-filter==1.0.2
djangorestframework==3.6.2

Django rest framework documentation should be updated
