Serving static files with Channels

[Alexander Prokhorov]

Dear Colleagues,  in particular Andrew ;)

I have a problem with making Channels serve static files. The issue concerns running `./manage.py runworker` which (according to the Getting Started with Channels guide) serves static files if Django run in DEBUG mode. Actually, I would like to disable serving static files completely because I always use Whitenoise in both development mode and in production. Providing `--nostatic` to `runserver` command does the trick, but only if workers run in-process.

In my setup I separate server from workers, so I run server as `./manage.py runserver --nostatic --noworker` and run workers separately with `./manage.py runworker --only-channels...`. Unfortunately in this case workers continue serving static files if they run in DEBUG mode, but the whole point of `--nostatic` is to disable serving static even in DEBUG mode (in production mode it is disabled by default AFAIR).

Is there any workaround?

Have you tried removing the staticfiles app from INSTALLED_APPS? I believe that will disable it even with runworker.

Yes, that is obvious, forgot to mention this. I would be happy to get rid of staticfiles completely, but several Django apps we use depend on it. Namely "debug_toolbar" and "django_rest_framework". I suppose staticfiles declares some keywords for templates those apps use.

Then I'm afraid you're stuck for now - you are welcome to open an issue against the Channels project to fix it and even write a patch if you want, but as DEBUG isn't turned on for production installs, it'll be considered a little lower priority.
