I configured django-pipeline to compress js and css. While js is working, it cannot find css files.
Files can be found using the findstatic . I test it with only one file, which has one css rule. Here is my configuration
PIPELINE_CSS = { 'all_css': { 'source_filenames': ( 'css/test.css' ) }, 'output_filename': 'css/main.css' } PIPELINE = True PIPELINE_CSS_COMPRESSOR = None
And the error message is -
% ./manage.py collectstatic --traceback You have requested to collect static files at the destination location as specified in your settings. This will overwrite existing files!
