Error when running python manage.py collectstatic
Henrik Sejersen
Hi
I get an error when running python manage.py collectstatic. The error is a SuspiciousFileOperation exception because “The final path must be the same as the base path”.
The strange thing is that I only get this error when my python version is 3.7.1. I do not get the error, if I change the standard interpreter version to 3.6.5 with the exact same dependencies? I am using Django 2.1.3. The method responsible for the exception appears only to be called when using python 3.7.1. Here is the stack (I have added print of the local variables base, base_path, and final_path inside the safe_join method):
(oekonomistyring) P:\python\odk\oekonomistyring>python manage.py collectstatic
This is base: P:\python\odk\oekonomistyring\collectstatic\
This is base_path: P:\python\odk\oekonomistyring\collectstatic\
This is final_path: P:\python\odk\oekonomistyring\collectstatic\
This is base: P:\python\odk\oekonomistyring\collectstatic\
This is base_path: P:\python\odk\oekonomistyring\collectstatic\
This is final_path: P:\python\odk\oekonomistyring\collectstatic\
You have requested to collect static files at the destination
location as specified in your settings:
P:\python\odk\oekonomistyring\collectstatic\
This will overwrite existing files!
Are you sure you want to do this?
Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes
