Couldn't get django-compressor/assets to work on Heroku

[Po Chen]

Hi there,

I've been trying to get some automatic assets handling setup in my tiny django app.
I've tried django-compressor and django-assets, no success so far.
Both of the libraries seem to fail to create files in the staticfiles directory on Heroku.
Both of them work locally with/without debug on.

I feel like I must be missing something really trivial..
Did anyone have the same experience and figured it out eventually?

Your help will be much appreciated!

P.S. I created a support ticket and got an answer telling me to check in the staticfiles directory,
which is created automatically when deploying django apps (created when collectstatic is run post-deploy)
I did try committing the directory with a .keep file in it, but no success either.

Thanks,
Po
