Re: django-pipeline unable to serve assets

Replying to my own post... I finally realized what I was missing. Going back to the basics I realized I am trying this in dev with runserver instead of through nginx + gunicorn, so basically there was nothing serving the assets. It is working now.

Hi, I am running into some issues configuring django-pipeline. It is compressing and creating the asset groups as expected when running collectstatic but then I get a 404 error when trying to load them in the app. I've been playing around with paths and settings and I cannot figure out why.

Using STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineStorage'  I get a good response from python manage.py findstatic <file relative path>  but still cannot load them in my webpage. These are my settings

INSTALLED_APPS = (

    'django.contrib.admin',

    'django.contrib.auth',  

    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    'django.contrib.sessions',

    'django.contrib.messages',

    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    'pipeline', 

    'django_extensions',

    'widget_tweaks',

    'django.contrib.gis',

    'django_hstore',

    'registration',

    'ui',

)

# Static asset configuration

STATIC_ROOT = 'staticfiles'

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineStorage'

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (

    'pipeline.finders.FileSystemFinder',

    'pipeline.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',

    'pipeline.finders.PipelineFinder',

    'pipeline.finders.CachedFileFinder',

)

PIPELINE_CSS = {

    'base': {

        'source_filenames': (

          'ui/css/bootstrap.min.css',

          'ui/css/adjust.css',

        ),

        'output_filename': 'ui/css/myapp_base.css',

    },

}

PIPELINE_JS = {

    'base': {

        'source_filenames': (

          'ui/js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js',

          'ui/js/js/bootstrap.min.js',

        ),

        'output_filename': 'ui/js/myapp_base.js',

    }

}

And in my templates:

{% load staticfiles %}

{% load compressed %}

{% compressed_js 'base' %}

{% compressed_css 'base' %}

When I run collectstatic I see under my staticfiles dir, the files ui/js/myapp_base.js and ui/css/myapp_base.css are being created, calling python manage.py findstatic ui/css/myapp_base.css works but I get a 404 in my webapp

If I use STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineCachedStorage' I see also some extra files with random identifiers are being generated, but then I get a 404 when requesting those files (including random id) and in this case, findstatic also fails (if i look with the file including the random id in the name)

I am sure I am missing something but I just cannot figure this out. Does anyone have any pointers to this one?

Thanks

Marcela
