Files Not Found (dupe of #699)

[millerthegorilla]

Hi, I am using django-pipeline with django 3.2. Although the assets are being minified and output to the correct location, the template tag generated script tag wrapped location is generating a 404.

After reading #699 I edited the pipeline/finders.py file to always return a call to the superclass, and the 404 errors disappeared.

Is there something I am misconfiguring (I copied the docs word for word)?

Hi @millerthegorilla,

To be able to help you would it be possible to provide:

• django-pipeline configuration in your settings.py
• the tag(s) generated in your template
• your directory listing of your static folder(s)

[millerthegorilla]

Hi, I hope this is ok.

django-pipeline configuration in your settings.py

#django-pipeline
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineManifestStorage'
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
    'pipeline.finders.PipelineFinder',
)

PIPELINE = {
    'PIPELINE_ENABLED': True,
    'JS_COMPRESSOR': 'pipeline.compressors.jsmin.JSMinCompressor',
    'JAVASCRIPT': {
        'django_artisan_carousel': {
            'source_filenames': (
              'django_artisan/js/carousel.js',
            ),
            'output_filename': 'django_artisan/js/carousel_min.js',
        },
        'django_artisan_image_loader': {
            'source_filenames': (
                'django_artisan/js/imageLoader.js',
            ),
            'output_filename': 'django_artisan/js/image_loader_min.js',
        },
        'django_forum': {
            'source_filenames': (
              'django_forum/js/*.js',
            ),
            'output_filename': 'js/django_forum.js',
        }
    }
}

the tag(s) generated in your template

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/django_artisan/js/carousel_min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

your directory listing of your static folder(s)

ls django_artisan/js
anchor.4c8e394e5e92.js    carousel.js                   imageLoader.1a8ddea2a496.js       image_loader_min.js
anchor.js                 carousel_min.f06309f5d68d.js  imageLoader.js                    profileUpdate.18e570e6bd98.js
carousel.a4a95be6644f.js  carousel_min.js               image_loader_min.775c48e9342f.js  profileUpdate.js

Thanks.

@TheBuky can you suggest what I should do next? I have just bumped all my pip dependencies to the latest as I test my project with django-4.0 and I am having to use a fork of django-pipeline because of this issue. I would much rather use the jazzband than my fork.

[millerthegorilla]

I can confirm that the fix for #699 works for me.

[Pyvonix]

Sorry @millerthegorilla, I'm comeback after a while.

So you remove the not line 16 inside pipeline/finders.py? (I have to get back entirely in the code to understand and see if there are no edge effects)
Can we try to create a use case and his related unit test to be sure that kind of problem will not appear again?

[millerthegorilla]

Thanks for getting back to me. I will check the code either today or tomorrow and confirm that I still have the same issue.

[millerthegorilla]

Had a quick peek, and I am still using the form, but it looks like a direct copy of the jazzband repo, so I will look more closely when I am next at the code.
