https://github.com/django/django/blob/76c0b32f826469320c59709d31e2f2126dd7c505/django/core/checks/caches.py#L22-L55

inspects the values of each entry in STATICFILES_DIRS here:

https://github.com/django/django/blob/76c0b32f826469320c59709d31e2f2126dd7c505/django/core/checks/caches.py#L30-L33

and passes them to pathlib.Path(staticfiles_dir) which expects a string, however according to the documentation each entry in STATICFILES_DIRS may be either a string or a tuple:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#prefixes-optional

If a STATICFILES_DIRS entry is provided as a tuple, this check fails with:

TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not tuple
