Studio site fails to load static elements after git pull from my own edx-platform fork

[Paras Doshi]

Hello,

I forked the edx repo and made some changes to it. When I pull that code on my production server the LMS works fine, but the studio fails to load static elements while rendering the page. If I change the code back to edx-platform master and restart LMS-CMS, things become fine again. My changes include adding some views for something that I am trying out. Nothing major. Can someone please let me know if they have faced a similar issue? 

Thanks,

Paras

When I access the logs I get these messages after access the studio page. Static elements likess the css files are not getting resolved.

Alright, I found the solution. I had to compile the static assets manually after changing the repo. FYI, the static assets reside in /edx/var/edxapp/staticfiles/

Here's how you do it

• sudo -u edxapp bash
• source /edx/app/edxapp/edxapp_env
• cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform
• SERVICE_VARIANT=lms rake lms:gather_assets:aws
• SERVICE_VARIANT=cms rake cms:gather_assets:aws

Actually it is easier.  The command "paver devstack lms" does work but for some reason it requires an environment variable set to the service variant.   That probably needs to be fixed.

That's in PR #3094;  it's been in the hopper a while, waiting for people to try it / ok it.
