When calling "collectstatic --clear," I would expect that only static
files would be deleted, but in fact all files in the static file folder
were deleted.
I am using storages and s3boto to serve static content and media. Here are
the related settings values:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'storages',
...
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
...
)
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = "bucketname"
MEDIA_ROOT = ''
MEDIA_URL = "//%s.s3.amazonaws.com/" % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(VAR_ROOT, 'static')
STATIC_URL = 'http://%s.s3.amazonaws.com/' % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
When I ran "collectstatic --clear," the media files and the static files
were deleted, but I would expect that only static files would effected by
this call.
Ideally this command would only effect static files, but at the very least
there would be a warning in the documentation that this deletes all
content in the static folder.
