Comment (by tomchristie):
Not sure, but you might need to add the new directories prior to applying
the patch:
{{{
mkdir -p tests/regressiontests/live_server_tests/{media,static}
}}}
I'd missed out the example media and static file before - should be more
clear now.
So there's a test file in each of the `static` and `media` directories,
and we'd expect them to serve from `/static/` and `/media/`.
We're already making the implicit assumption that we want to serve static
files, with the equivalent of:
{{{
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
}}}
If `MEDIA_ROOT` is set, and `MEDIA_URL` is set to a relative URL, then we
ought to also do the equivalent of:
{{{
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL,
document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
}}}
(As it happens, I actually think Django's "use `settings.DEBUG` to
determine if we should serve static/media files" is a slightly flawed in
the first place, seeing as it's forced to `False` in testing.)
I might take a look at seeing if I can adapt the implementation to be
multi-process rather than multi-thread, and support on-disk sqlite
databases.
