The classic Heroku Python buildpack automatically runs the Django `collectstatic` command: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/blob/main/bin/steps/collectstatic This adds equivalent support, with a couple of improvements: - This implementation performs more checks to see whether the app is actually using the static files feature before trying to run it (reducing the number of cases where users have to manually disable it). - The collectstatic symlink feature has been enabled, as requested in heroku/heroku-buildpack-python#1060. - Symlinked `manage.py` files are now supported, as requested in heroku/heroku-buildpack-python#972. - The error messages are finer grained/more useful. - There are many more tests. There is currently no way to force disable the feature (beyond removing `django.contrib.staticfiles` from `INSTALLED_APPS` in the app's Django config). Adding this depends on us deciding how best to handle buildpack options, so will be added later. This uses the new `utils::run_command_and_capture_output` added in #106. See: * https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/howto/static-files/ * https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/contrib/staticfiles/ * https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/settings/#settings-staticfiles Fixes #5.

A legacy Django version (1.18, which is EOL) is now tested, as well as ensuring that env vars are passed to manage.py.

The classic Heroku Python buildpack automatically runs the Django
collectstaticcommand:https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/blob/main/bin/steps/collectstatic
This adds equivalent support, with a couple of improvements:
manage.pyfiles are now supported, as requested in Fix Django sites with manage.py symlinks or similar unconventional configurations heroku-buildpack-python#972.There is currently no way to force disable the feature (beyond removing
django.contrib.staticfilesfromINSTALLED_APPSin the app's Django config, or removing themanage.pyscript). Supporting this depends on us deciding how best to handle buildpack options, so will be added later, in #109.The build log output and error messages are fairly reasonable already (and a significant improvement over the classic buildpack), and will be further polished as part of the future build output overhaul.
The implementation uses the new
utils::run_command_and_capture_outputadded in #106.See:
Fixes #5.
