The bootstrap-theme included with pinax-account project breaks collectstatic about pinax-starter-projects HOT 11 CLOSED

It's great to hear you got things going so quickly. This is exactly why we built Pinax!

Thank you for the report. We are aware of some issues between webpack and collectstatic. We are looking to resolve these issues ASAP.

@nileshbits can you post your INSTALLED_APPS? We'd like to eliminate some possibilities.

from pinax-starter-projects.

Here you go:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
    "django.contrib.messages",
    "django.contrib.sessions",
    "django.contrib.sites",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles",

    # theme
    "bootstrapform",
    "pinax_theme_bootstrap",

    # external
    "account",
    "metron",
    "pinax.eventlog",

    # project
    "ardiff_frontend",

    #my apps
    'diffview',
    'djproxy',
]

@nileshbits when you say that collectstatic fails, what are you seeing? Do you get a traceback or an error message? In either case can you share it?

from pinax-starter-projects.

Ouch... I removed all those files to stabilize my build. I remember it was a post-processing issue... it couldn't post-process site.css, because it couldn't find the font files due to the /site_media/static/ in the URL.

The "failure" is not harmful to this file, since the font files should be copied to the correct folder anyway. But the collectstatic postprocessor is unable resolve the URL to find the font file, so it fails.

The main side effect is that this "failure" halts the post-processing for all files after the failure, so it could leave some files unprocessed.

@nileshbits what static files backend are you using?

from pinax-starter-projects.

@paltman The problem occurs when I use ManifestStaticFilesStorage. This is the backend that adds the hash to the filename for cache-busting. I haven't tried any other backend than what the development server uses by default, which, as you know, is much more fault tolerant and does not require collectstatic.

I see. So you shouldn't need that as webpack is handling the cache bust already.

@nileshbits see #8

i'm about to merge this and update all starter projects and do a new release. this is a pretty big change but will/should fix a lot of issues with webpack and give you more freedom on the static build side.

Thank you @paltman ! I may not need to try it out for this project, but I'll certainly check it out on my next one. If you believe this is fixed, please go ahead and close it.
