why collectstatic won't copy my static files?

Question

I have 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 Downloaded

Answer 1

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 :)
