is my first app in Django and I am trying to prepare my Django (2.0) application for production, but I am unable to make the static files load properly using WhiteNoise
I keep having all the time the next error in my log
ValueError("Missing staticfiles manifest entry for '%s'" % clean_name)
ValueError: Missing staticfiles manifest entry for 'css/inicio.css'
[02/Jun/2018 14:40:37] ERROR [django.server:124] "GET /participation/prueba HTTP/1.1" 500 27
I have the following settings.py
...
DEBUG=False
DJANGO_APPS = ['django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
#Delete for development whitenoise.runserver_nostatic
'whitenoise.runserver_nostatic',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.sites'

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles/')
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')),
)
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
I have all my static files in a folder call static at root level, when I run manage.py collectstatic I get generate all the static files in the staticfiles dir, but somehow still I don't manage to make it run.
I try to isolate the problem and I am using the following template
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
{% load static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/inicio.css" %}">
</head>
<body>
{% for categoria in categoria_list %}
<p>
{{ categoria.titulo }}
</p>
{% endfor %}
</body>
</html>
I have try already to change the path of href to
{% static "/css/inicio.css" %}
{% static "static/css/inicio.css" %}
but none of them have make it load
Also I tried with and without 'whitenoise.runserver_nostatic' loaded in Django Apps and I keep having the same results.
Anyone knows what i am doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
Try removing this line,
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
