First of all, please don't accept your own tickets, we have a community of
ticket triagers that didn't have a chance to see this ticket since you
didn't leave it at the Unreviewed state.
Secondly, I'm sorry but this isn't Django's fault, if you're missing a
file, it's good to raise an exception. You quoted a part of the
documentation of how to write the render method of custom template tags,
not how template tags should work in general. It is an error to refer to a
file with the staticfiles' static template tag as it uses a storage
backend to calculate the URL of the static files. If you just want to
generate a URL that is concatenated with STATIC_URL, use the core static
template tag:
