Replying to [comment:3 Aymeric Augustin]:
> In the case of Heroku which swallows the output of collectstatic, if
`STATICFILES_DIRS` doesn't have a correct value, the change suggested here
will make it pretend that it succeeded, even though it didn't collect
files, while it currently says it's failing. I think that's a problem:
"errors shouldn't pass silently" :-)
Yes, absolutely agree that errors shouldn't pass silently. In the case of
the Heroku buildpack, it does suppress some of the output but any warning
messages will get displayed:
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-
python/blob/677dfeec119f28b4d1a8f679b38b2d4e407f4533/bin/steps/collectstatic#L33
Would another option be for `collectstatic` to note that a directory was
missing, issue a warning, ''proceed with collecting the rest of the static
files'', and then exit with status > 0 at the end? That way, the user
would still have a working set of static files.
