Missing static files

[onny]

I was able to build and run Froide as a NixOS package and module NixOS/nixpkgs#355835

After running it and visiting localhost:8000 I see this page:

Somehow it doesn't even try to load css or js files only images which are missing too

DJANGO_CONFIGURATION=Production manage.py migrate
DJANGO_CONFIGURATION=Production manage.py runserver localhost:8000

Did you build the frontend? (pnpm run build) or alternatively are you running the frontend dev-server? (pnpm run dev)

in my package output I have:

ls result
bin               docs               frontend     MANIFEST.in           package.json    requirements-test.txt  vite.config.js
build             eslint.config.mjs  LICENSE.txt  monkeytype_config.py  pnpm-lock.yaml  requirements.txt
compose-dev.yaml  froide             Makefile     nix-support           pyproject.toml  SECURITY.md
dist              froide.egg-info    manage.py    node_modules          README.md       tsconfig.json

and

ls result/build/
css               fileuploader.js.map   js                  messageredaction.js      proofupload.js           redact.js
document.js       filingcabinet.js      main.js             messageredaction.js.map  proofupload.js.map       redact.js.map
document.js.map   filingcabinet.js.map  main.js.map         moderation.js            publicbody.js            request.js
docupload.js      fonts                 makerequest.js      moderation.js.map        publicbody.js.map        request.js.map
docupload.js.map  geomatch.js           makerequest.js.map  postupload.js            publicbodyupload.js      tagautocomplete.js
fileuploader.js   geomatch.js.map       manifest.json       postupload.js.map        publicbodyupload.js.map  tagautocomplete.js.map

hope these are the correct places to put the files in

Does it work when you omit the DJANGO_CONFIGURATION=Production variable?

[onny]

Then it tries to unsuccessfully load manifest.dev.json where as pnpm run build only produces a manifest.json file

[krmax44]

Ah, right. Try running manage.py collectstatic after building the frontend (see Django docs for details). If it still doesn't work, it may be a limitation of Django's dev server (which doesn't mix well with DJANGO_CONFIGURATION=Production).
