Cannot run collectstatic with existing unsupported manifest file

Description

I tried to run collectstatic with ManifestStaticFilesStorage on django 4.1 with existing staticfiles generated by django 4.2. Django 4.2 introduced manifest version 1.1 which is not supported by Django 4.1. I've found out that I can't run collectstatic when unsupported manifest already exists.

Hi Natalia,

I've already figured out this issue. Please take a look at my pr: https://github.com/django/django/pull/17015/files
You can reproduce it either by reverting my changes in django/contrib/staticfiles/storage.py and running TestManifestStaticFilesStorageRollback or by running ./manage.py collectstatic with ManifestStaticFilesStorage on Django 4.2 and then on Django 4.1.

Please find the traceback below.

In general, we don't support downgrade paths, e.g. sessions created in Django X may not work with Django < X etc.

Hello Jarek,

In addition to what Mariusz mentioned, I'm not being able to reproduce. I set the STORAGES as instructed and ran collectstatic on Django 4.2. The generated staticfiles.json has version 1.1 in it. I downgraded to Django 4.1 and ran collectstatic again, no errors.

I think this change will improve the developer experience. People finding bugs after upgrading Django will have easier time reverting to previous version. Some parts of Django support downgrade paths, e.g. migrations.

Hello,

In my last comment I mentioned that I can not even reproduce the reported issue. Could you share a test project with clear steps to reproduce?

Thanks, Natalia.

comment:9 by Jarosław Wygoda, 18 months ago

Sorry I missed your comment. You can reproduce it by running ./manifest/manage.py collectstatic with django 3 here https://github.com/jwygoda/manifest/tree/master. See https://github.com/jwygoda/manifest/blob/master/test.sh for project setup.

I've also wrote a test reproducing this issue here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/17015/files#diff-5d0a445ee662a0619f13e7dfbc73f1de73b76ea5888e15bc0b1a20f32eccd8eaR904
