I am using: `STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.CachedStaticFilesStorage'` eg. The following snippet of code in test.css: {{{ .gfg-collapse-closed { /* background-image : url('arrow_close.gif'); */ } }}} produces the following error: {{{ ValueError: The file 'stylesheets/arrow_close.gif' could not be found with <django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.CachedStaticFilesStorage object at 0x1078a3910>. collectstatic }}} Ideally, collectstatic should respect CSS comments and should not attempt to parse/reference files in lines that are commented out. If the fix is too complex, a simple workaround might be to include a `--ignore-error` flag that would allow the application to continue post-processing even when it sees errors | tmszi | shreyas@gmail.com | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
