Update CONTRIBUTING.md.

[Animesh-Ghosh]

PRs are being created without specifying what issue it is that they are solving.

Updating CONTRIBUTING.md to say that PRs may be created only if issues exist prior to it may be a possible solution.

For example, PRs #44, #45, #46 were created without any existing issue that they are supposed to solve. PRs #41, #47 were created to solve issue #41.

Hi @Animesh-Ghosh, I am trying to clone the repository but get this issue when running python manage.py test:

\venv\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\staticfiles\storage.py", line 44, in path raise ImproperlyConfigured("You're using the staticfiles app " django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path.

Have you seen this issue before?

[Animesh-Ghosh]

I haven't run tests myself. I'll look into it.

@Animesh-Ghosh Thank you, I've tried updating the static_dirs line, but am having no luck.

Edit: I have changed the following line in settings.py which have gotten me past the initial errors: STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

And now I am receiving a status code error: hacktoberfest\tutorialdb\api\tests\test_views.py", line 8, in test_tutorials_page_status_code self.assertEquals(response.status_code, 200) AssertionError: 404 != 200

Hope this helps.

@hstandeffer it would be better if you moved the conversation thread to its related Issue.

Will do 👍
