I'm trying to work with some json and csv files in my django project but it never found they.
I created a static folder and inside it I have create a new one called data with the different files. But when I call it, the message is always the same, it can't found the path of my files.
[Errno 2] File b'data/data.csv' does not exist: b'data/data.csv'
Inside settings.py I have this:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS =[
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]
Somebody knows what I'm doing wrong?
An example how I call my csv file:
def dataframex():
data_csv = pd.read_csv('data/data.csv')
print(data_csv)
Thank you!
pandas.read_csv() has no idea about Django's staticfiles configuration.
Assuming you're using local static files and not e.g. something backed by S3 or something more esoteric, you can use finders.find() to locate the real file on disk:
from django.contrib.staticfiles import finders
def dataframex():
csv_path = finders.find('data/data.csv')
data_csv = pd.read_csv(csv_path)
print(data_csv)
However, for static files you don't need to directly serve to the user, such as this one, it's better to just store them in your application directory.
Assuming myapp/views.py contains the above, you can move data.csv to myapp/data.csv, then use
csv_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'data.csv')
to locate the file.

I am trying to deploy the app on Heroku but when I run the following command: "python manage.py collectstatic" it returns multiple "Found another file with the destination path 'admin...".
When I "git push heroku" the app, I can see the same error.
Next, the application works, but /admin page doesn't have any format, like it is not reading css, font, etc. I've checked staticfiles/admin and it has its css,font,img and js folder with files.
I've tried all the advices given here, but I'm not finding a solution. Here my settings (see my comments at the end of the code):
import os
import django_heroku
# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
.
.
.
# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/static-files/
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles') #Heroku
#STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static') #ok for IBM Cloud
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'media') # if I comment this line and
MEDIA_URL = '/media/' # this line, /admin page has correct css but I don't have images in the application
# Extra places for collectstatic to find static files.(extra heroku)
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
# Next line makes application not work, it shows database errors
django_heroku.settings(locals())
"""
so, I added "release: python manage.py migrate" to procfile, now the app works,
/admin shows format ok, but database seems to be empty, no information is displayed on
site pages, and admin users don't exist anymore (my database is sqlite3).
"""
And what I get when "git push heroku master" is:
remote: Found another file with the destination path 'admin/img/selector-icons.svg'. It will be ignored since only the first encountered file is collected. If this is not what you want, make sure every static file has a unique path.
remote: Found another file with the destination path 'admin/img/calendar-icons.svg'. It will be ignored since only the first encountered file is collected. If this is not what you want, make sure every static file has a unique path.

Please help
I have just started to use ManifestStaticFilesStorage and I am running into a problem I do not understand.
Firstly, if I prepare and run the website without ManifestStaticFilesStorage, then everything displays properly. Within the browser I can for example, see a link to an image and if I follow that it shows the image in a resource box:
Next, I add the following line of code into settings
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage'
and I also have:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")
I then delete the static directory and rebuild everything (migrations, collect static).
This produces a website with the following link to an image, but the resource is not visible:
However, when I go into the static folder in my project and look at the directory, I can see the file clearly and as far as I can tell, it appears normal:
It's like Django is failing to link up correctly when I use ManifestStaticFilesStorage.
I have included some other settings that may be relevant:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# STATIC_ROOT = 'static'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
'./ebdjango/static/',
]
I'm new to this, so if you have any suggestions on how to proceed with the cache in Django, please let me know.
Many thanks

I've encountered a problem that, even after an evening of trying , I've not yet been able to resolve.
For my project I have a single static directory, and I've included the css files for the 'login' page in there. Yet when I try to load the webpage I get a 404 error.
When I try to find the files with the 'findstatic' or 'collectstatic' commands the files get skiped. Its like the 'static' directory is invisible to django. I've even directly copies the 'Login' folder to 'static_root', but even then the program was Django was unable to find the files.
Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?
My project folder looks like this:
* MPS (main folder)
* Scraper (app)
* Database (app)
* Templates
* Static_root
* Static
* Login
* css
* style.css
My settings.py has been configured like so:
STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_root/')
And I call the static files in the template with the following code:
{% load staticfiles %}
(...)
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'login/css/style.css' %}">
Your project folder structure looks a bit different from most Django projects. Traditionally it would look something more like this:
myproject/
urls.py
wsgi.py
settings.py
myapp/
static/
myapp/
css/
style.css
js/
index.js
manage.py
Notice that the app static files of myapp is within a subfolder called the same as the app folder. This is to easily namespace the files as you can read more about in the docs.
Now we might be able to get away with putting our static files directly in my_app/static/ (rather than creating another my_app subdirectory), but it would actually be a bad idea. Django will use the first static file it finds whose name matches, and if you had a static file with the same name in a different application, Django would be unable to distinguish between them. We need to be able to point Django at the right one, and the easiest way to ensure this is by namespacing them. That is, by putting those static files inside another directory named for the application itself.
I have a project that has been running just fine for about 6 months. Static files have been working perfectly, and everything is great. I have my static files located in a folder as so:
/var/www/html/static/
In my settings.py file, I have the static section setup like so:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
'/var/www/html/static/',
)
This has been working just fine.
However, I now want to move the static folder to a different location. Specifically, I want to move it inside the main project directory. My project is located at /var/www/html/shq/ so I want to have my static directory located at /var/www/html/shq/static/. I moved the folder, then updated my settings.py file to look like this:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
'/var/www/html/shq/static/',
)
However, it didn't work. The Django project is still referencing the old location.
What am I missing here? Why isn't the Django project using the new location of /var/www/html/shq/static/?
EDIT
This is what the tail end of my settings.py file looks like:
119 STATICFILES_FINDERS = [
120 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
121 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
122 ]
123
124 STATIC_URL = '/static/'
125 STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/html/collected_static/'
126 MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
127 MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/html/shq/media/'
128 STATICFILES_DIRS = [
129 os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
130 '/var/www/html/shq/static/',
131 ]
You might try doing something like this. I think it returns the list of directories that django looks for to find static files. Might help debugging.
from django.contrib.staticfiles import finders
from pprint import pprint
pprint(finders.find("", all=True))
Also, I may not be fully understanding your scenario, but you might confirm that the STATIC_ROOT is set to the location where you want to serve your static files (where your webserver will serve the files). The STATIC_DIRS setting tells collectstatic where to find static files, but the STATIC_ROOT is where collectstatic will actually place the files.
I figured it out. Not surprisingly, it was an easy fix once I figured it out.
It had nothing to do with my Django settings and everything to do with Apache.
Original
Alias /static/ /var/www/html/static/
So no matter what I did in my Django settings.py file, Apache was overriding that to send /static/ requested to the wrong directory.
New Apache Setting
Alias /static/ /var/www/html/shq/static/
Now the proper static files are being referenced. Hopefully this helps someone else in the future :)
I have a MyApp/static/MyApp directory.
When I run ./manage.py collectstatic, I expect the MyApp directory be copied to STATIC_ROOT, but it doesn't.
I have DownloadedApp/static/DownloadedApp as well and its copied to STATIC_ROOT fine.
What am I missing?
What are the STATIC_ROOT, STATICFILES_FINDERS, and STATICFILES_DIRS in your settings.py?
When collectstatic is run, the default STATICFILES_FINDERS value django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder will collect your static files from any paths that you have in STATICFILES_DIRS.
The other default STATICFILES_FINDERS value django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder will look in the /static/ folder of any apps in your INSTALLED_APPS.
All of the static files that are found will be placed in the specified STATIC_ROOT directory.
Check out this link to the collectstatic docs
And this link an explanation of the various static settings in settings.py
You can also use python manage.py findstatic to see which directories collectstatic will look in.
just do this and make the naming convention same
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'assets')
static directory contains all off your project assets
assets directory will create automatic when u run this cmd
python3 manage.py collectstatic
this will copy all static folder content into assets folder
hope this helps :)
That just happened to me and I accidentally put the app's static files directory in the .gitignore file. So on my local machine it got collected just fine, but in production the static files were actually missing (gitignored).
your are missing the STATIC_ROOT where your static files going to be copied just
add this line in your settings.py
STATIC_ROOT=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'staticfiles')
your settings.py looks like this :
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'staticfiles')
#added manully
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")
]
remember to add STAIC_ROOT path in urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path("" ,include("home.urls")),
]+static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
After all of it you can run :
python manage.py collectstatic
it will create a staticfiles folder for you in your Dir
This happened to me because while investigating a bug occurring on certain dates, changed my computer date and time.
Hence it disturbed things like collectstatic, and also my browser history.
Don't change your computer date and time.
I was under the impression the comparison would be content based. It turned out to be date based. So, don't mess with your files after collecstatic.
One Quick work-around, although this does not fix it or explain WHY it's happening, is to:
go to your project's file directory & rename your project's
'static' folder to something else like 'static-old'
create a new,empty folder called 'static' in your project directory
now if you run python manage.py collectstatic it will see that nothing is
in your static folder and will copy ALL static files over.
if you have setup everything properly for static and you are using nginx then enter this command
sudo nginx -t
You will see error why your static files aren't being served and fix that specific error
In my case I gave wrong path in my nginx config
location /static {
root /home/ubuntu/myproject/app/static/;
}
