No static file generated by django-pipeline

[ychenbioinfo]

Hi,
I am having issues using Django-pipeline in my project. I am using Django 5.0.6 with Python 3.12.4. Here are my settings for django-pipeline

STATIC_URL = 'static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")
]

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_final')

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'pipeline.storage.PipelineManifestStorage'

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
    'pipeline.finders.PipelineFinder',
)

PIPELINE = {
    'PIPELINE_ENABLED': True,
    'JAVASCRIPT': {
        'js_files': {
            'source_filenames': (
              'static/js/marula-main.js'
            ),
            'output_filename': 'js/main.js',
        }
    },
    'YUGLIFY_BINARY': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'node_modules/.bin/yuglify')
}

And I used it in the scripts.html

{% load static %}
{% load pipeline %}

<!-- Bootstrap core JavaScript-->
<script src="{% static 'vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'vendor/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js' %}"></script>

<!-- Core plugin JavaScript-->
<script src="{% static 'vendor/jquery-easing/jquery.easing.min.js' %}"></script>

<!-- Custom scripts for all pages-->
{% javascript 'js_files' %}

And there is no main.js file generated, and I got "GET /static/js/main.js HTTP/1.1" 404.

Thanks for the help in advance.

I'm having this issue too. Everything's being collected into my project's ./static folder, but they're just simply copied from the app folders. None of the compressed/collected files are being generated.

Started happening after I upgraded to Django 5, so might be a bug related to that.

I just started getting this too. Did you find any fix?

@jon-mcclung-fortyau This project seems unmaintained, so I just wrote my own replacement for their compress script that fixed the issue. It's really frustrating that this project can no longer do the ONE thing it was written to do.

Thanks. Yeah, I ultimately just added a line to my dockerfile because our scss -> css pipeline is very simple and could be achieved with a single command.
