Wasted a lot of time on this today when I shouldn’t have done.
If you find that your staticfiles in Django are just not working for you, when the docs say they should be, try this. The docs say here that:
“This view is automatically enabled and will serve your static files at STATIC_URL when you use the built-in runserver management command.”
Well, it doesn’t work for me. As per the example after I had to amend my urls.py specifically – i.e.:
[cc lang=”python”]
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
# … the rest of your URLconf goes here …
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
[/cc]
If anyone knows whether this is a bug or just me please tell me.
