[Bug] Templating library has not been initialized when first requests are being served. about sanic-ext

[ahopkins]

Templating middleware initializes request context in after_server_start handler however
at this point the server is already serving requests.

That is not true. Requests are not yet being received when after_server_start runs. The server is running and is bound to a socket, but it is not yet receiving anything.

Start the Sanic server and immediately make a request.

Some sample code would be helpful.

I am guessing the intent was name mangling

Nope.

can be stripped out?

Yup. Functionality has been replaced and is now part of Sanic itself as of v22.6: Request.get_current()
