I’m facing an issue while running the collectstatic command in my Django project. The error seems to stem from a missing file referenced in a CSS file. Here’s the output I get when I run:
python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
It shows:
Found another file with the destination path 'vendor\adminlte\css\adminlte.min.css.map'. It will be ignored since only the first encountered file is collected.
...
Post-processing 'vendor\adminlte\css\adminlte.min.css' failed!
whitenoise.storage.MissingFileError: The file 'vendor/adminlte/css/adminlte.min.css.map' could not be found with <whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage object at 0x...>.
The CSS file 'vendor/adminlte/css/adminlte.min.css' references a file which could not be found:
vendor/adminlte/css/adminlte.min.css.map
