Working with django ansible base

I cloned the latest release of django-ansible-base ( Release v2025.8.11 · ansible/django-ansible-base · GitHub ) followed the README ( django-ansible-base/test_app/README.md at devel · ansible/django-ansible-base · GitHub ) when running

LARGE=true ./test_app/scripts/bootstrap.sh

it gives this warning:

?: (staticfiles.W004) The directory '/home/username/django-ansible-base/static' in the STATICFILES_DIRS setting does not exist. 

I did some searches but didn’t find a good solution, any suggestions?

Thanks!

The good news is I was able to bring up the site and give a demo to a few members of senior staff and they thought it’s the way forward. Thanks for the great work!!

The staticfiles line is probably a simple bug with a simple fix. It would naturally follow that this is from the settings in test_app, which is easy to change. The criteria is that tests pass and the demo server works. But since it’s a warning it probably doesn’t block usage otherwise.
