Admin Portal CSS and Scripts 404

[cooperwhitley]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When accessing the admin portal the log reads that fetching the admin stylesheets and scripts is returning a 404 error. This results in the admin portal not rendering/functioning correctly.

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

I would like to figure out what is causing django to not see/use the default stylesheets and how to address it.

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

The admin portal should fetch the proper scripts and stylesheets, as it has in the past.

What is the actual behavior? A clear and concise description of what actually happened.

The admin portal renders as plain html as the scripts and stylesheets are not found.

What is your best guess as to the source of the problem?

We are using the tailwind CSS library, alongside the css compressor app, I feel one of these are perhaps responsible.

What things have you already tried to solve the problem?

I have tried disabling the css compressor app, however that does not seem to have fixed it.

Do you see all your styling when not accessing the Admin portal?

[cooperwhitley]

We do, yes

[cooperwhitley]

It looks like the install of TailwindCSS was causing the issue, made an exact replica of the repository with only that removed and it is working, for the sake of time we are probably just going to work without Tailwind.

[asands94]

Tailwind would be great for next unit if you all individually still wanted to give that a try.

For sure, it's definitely a super cool library.
