Django doesn't load static files ValueError(“Missing staticfiles manifest entry for '%s'” % clean_name)
Question
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'
]
MIDDLEWARE = [
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]
...
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'

The problem is that somewhere in your templates you're referencing a static file that doesn't exist. Specifically, your passing an empty string to static. Perhaps you have a line like {% static some_variable %} where some_variable is undefined?
In Django 1.11 the behaviour changed so that errors are thrown on missing files. See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage.manifest_strict
If you fix this reference then everything should work.

If you're using Docker on Heroku this is the correct solution (rather than removing compression altogether). The error is raised simply because the STATIC_ROOT is not being created during deployment (unlike with the normal Python/Django stack). Also you have to make sure to run collectstatic on all dynos that might end up serving static files.
I fixed that by baking everything into the base Docker image. In your Dockerfile (assuming your STATIC_ROOT is /app/static ):
[...]
RUN mkdir -p /app/static
RUN python manage.py collectstatic --no-input
[...]
This will collect all static files and create the manifest file used by Whitenoise to map normal file names (eg css/inicio.css ) to hashed file names (eg css/inicio.bf12af51cd.css ) (used for caching).

Similarly to Marco's answer, if you are deploying to an Azure App Service. Modify your startup file to :
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic
gunicorn --bind=0.0.0.0 --timeout 30 --max-requests 500 --max-requests-jitter 10 <appname>.wsgi
