name conflicts in static files

[dmitry b]

Hi,

With the new way of handling static files in Django 1.3 what would
happen if two applications have identically named static files? E.g.:


<project>
|___ app1
| |____ static
| |_____ styles.css
|___ app2
|____ static
|_____ styles.css


Thanks
Dmitry

The first app in INSTALLED_APPS wins, just like how name conflicts with templates work.

You can use the following command to check what static file gets picked:

Just a general tip for folks.  Always namespace your template and static files to avoid problems.
