Description
Hi
I was working on a django website, and came across the following issue:
If the STATIC_ROOT defintion in settings.py towards the top of the file, it seems that
python manage.py collectstatic
will not be able to detect it. However, if it is declared after the INSTALLED_APPS, it works fine.
I am not sure whether this is intentional or not, but it does not seem to be documented, and therefore I believe should be brought to attention as either a documentation issue or a bug.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I am not able to reproduce this, on 1.7 or on master. Are you sure there is no error in your settings file, and that Django is using the correct settings file?
