21750	STATIC_ROOT is required in 1.7	Aymeric Augustin	nobody	"In Django 1.7, STATIC_ROOT is required to use the staticfiles app, while it wasn't in Django 1.6 and earlier.

For instance I'm encountering the following error when running the debug toolbar's test suite.

{{{
ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path.
}}}

If this was done on purpose, it should be documented in the release notes."	Bug	closed	contrib.staticfiles	1.6	Release blocker	fixed		loic@…	Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
