When DEBUG=True DjangoWhiteNoise does not look at AppDirectories for static files about whitenoise HOT 4 CLOSED

In case anyone stumbles across this issue in future, WhiteNoise v2.0 now supports serving files from AppDirectories by default when DEBUG=True.

It sounds like you might be trying to use WhiteNoise as a development server, which it isn't really designed to do. It only serves files in STATIC_ROOT, so you'll need to run collectstatic to copy in the files from your app directories. Generally speaking, I let runserver handle serving static assets in development.

If you let me know more details about the problem you were having I can try to give you more specific help though.

Generally true, but in practice, with heroku the common and easiest way to
run the dev server is using foreman, using gunicorn which runs the wsgi.py.
Indeed foreman can run manage.py server.
