Hello everyone, I am new to Django Rest Framework and to REST in general.
I followed the really nice REST-Tutorials <http://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/1-serialization/> and I managed to make an API that on my local host is working perfectly. My problem is when I am deploying it on the Heroku I get 404 error regarding the Jana scripts css etc. I following the logs with (heroku logs --tail --app myApi) and I see the following: 2018-03-05T11:38:18.629896+00:00 app[web.1]: - 10.104.55.179 - - [05/Mar/2018:12:38:18 +0100] "GET /static/rest_framework/js/default.js HTTP/1.1" 404 109 "https://myApi.herokuapp.com/"; "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36" 2018-03-05T11:38:18.690858+00:00 app[web.1]: - 10.104.55.179 - - [05/Mar/2018:12:38:18 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 85 "https://myApi.herokuapp.com/"; "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36" 2018-03-05T11:38:18.692141+00:00 heroku[router]: - at=info method=GET path="/favicon.ico" host=myApi.herokuapp.com request_id=ec4d4ed0-19a9-4785-84b5-452e90239bfb fwd="5.59.34.149" dyno=web.1 connect=1ms service=3ms status=404 bytes=260 protocol=https 2018-03-05T11:38:18.165004+00:00 heroku[router]: - at=info method=GET path="/static/rest_framework/css/prettify.css" host=myApi.herokuapp.com request_id=f9be6b23-eb9f-4efd-81e0-929772f0dac3 fwd="5.59.34.149" dyno=web.1 connect=0ms service=2ms status=404 bytes=288 protocol=https 2018-03-05T11:38:18.205046+00:00 heroku[router]: - at=info method=GET path="/static/rest_framework/js/prettify-min.js" host=myApi.herokuapp.com request_id=385a1ec6-8951-4ac1-845a-757c600fff70 fwd="5.59.34.149" dyno=web.1 connect=1ms service=3ms status=404 bytes=290 protocol=https Sample of my tree structure: $ tree -L 2 myApi/ myApi/ ├── db.sqlite3 ├── env │ ├── bin │ ├── include │ ├── lib │ ├── local │ └── pip-selfcheck.json ├── manage.py ├── Pipfile ├── Pipfile.lock ├── Procfile ├── Procfile~ ├── README.md ├── requirements.txt ├── snippets │ ├── admin.py │ ├── admin.pyc │ ├── apps.py │ ├── apps.pyc │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── __init__.pyc │ ├── migrations │ ├── models.py │ ├── models.pyc │ ├── permissions.py │ ├── permissions.pyc │ ├── serializers.py │ ├── serializers.pyc │ ├── tests.py │ ├── urls.py │ ├── urls.pyc │ ├── views.py │ └── views.pyc └── myApi ├── __init__.py ├── __init__.pyc ├── settings.py ├── settings.pyc ├── static ├── urls.py ├── urls.pyc ├── wsgi.py └── wsgi.pyc 9 directories, 34 files I created my static file with the following command: python manage.py collectstatic source: Managing static files (e.g. images, JavaScript, CSS) <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/> . In my settings.py file I have: # All settings common to all environments PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static') I guess this correct configuration or at least this is what I found on line. I can see the files in my Git repo but I can not understand why they are not populated on the Heroku. I guess this is a trivial question but if you do not have the knowledge on the subject it can get very very difficult to find the solution. Does any one had this problem before? Thank you in advance for your time and effort reading and replying to my question.
