Comment (by berkerpeksag):
You can just override the `STATIC_ROOT` setting and call
`self.run_collectstatic()`:
{{{#!py
@override_settings(STATIC_ROOT=os.path.join(TEST_ROOT, 'project',
'site_media', 'static-does-not-exist'))
def test_empty_directory(self):
self.run_collectstatic()
}}}
but, I think this is not the cleanest solution. You also don't need to
call `BaseCollectionTestCase.setUp()` because it tries to create a
directory if it doesn't exist:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/tests/staticfiles_tests/tests.py#L132
I'd go with a new test case (without using `BaseCollectionTestCase`
mixin).
