Static Files Bug when running 'manage.py test' for setup

[hstandeffer]

Describe the bug The bug appears after going through the setup; the program is unable to locate the static files root directory. I have tried running python manage.py collectstatic while changing the static file paths which resolves most errors, but still leaves me with a final 404 error:

`FAIL: test_tutorials_page_status_code (api.tests.test_views.APITests)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\temp\hacktoberfest\tutorialdb\api\tests\test_views.py", line 8, in test_tutorials_page_status_code self.assertEquals(response.status_code, 200) AssertionError: 404 != 200`

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go through the initial setup steps of creating venv and installing requirements
2. After running the migrate command, run the test command from setup
3. See error

Expected behavior Status code of 200, asserting page was created correctly

43 may be a possible fix.

I tried it out, but the error that is coming now is ValueError: Missing staticfiles manifest entry for 'app/tutorialdb.png'.

I've continued trying to resolve this issue, but am having no luck. Are there any updates on getting this to correctly load the database?

Did you see my comments in #9?

You need to specify a .env file. Have you worked with .env files before?

`FAIL: test_tutorials_page_status_code (api.tests.test_views.APITests)

this test will fail due to reasons I am still not able to understand. you can ignore this message.
