Collectstatic error while deploying Django app to Heroku

Question

I\'m trying to deploy a Django app to Heroku, it starts to build, download and installs everything, but that\'s what I get when it comes to collecting static files

Answer 1

Heroku had made a document with suggestions on how to handle this https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django-assets

add to settings.py

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)

make a directory in the root of your project called staticfiles, put a favicon or something in there, just make sure git tracks it. Then the collectstatic command should finish on heroku.
