When running collectstatic with a hashing static file storage backend,
URLs referencing other files were normalized with posixpath.normpath.
This could corrupt URLs: for example 'a.css#b/../c' became just 'c'.
Normalization seems to be an artifact of the historical implementation.
It contained a home-grown implementation of posixpath.join which relied
on counting occurrences of .. and /, so multiple / had to be collapsed.
The new implementation introduced in the previous commit doesn't suffer
from this issue. So it seems safe to remove the normalization.
There was a test for this normalization behavior but I don't think it's
a good test. Django shouldn't modify CSS that way. If a developer has
rendundant /s, it's mostly an aesthetic issue and it isn't Django's job
to fix it. Conversely, if the user wants a series of /s, perhaps in the
URL fragment, Django shouldn't destroy it.
Refs #26249.
collectstatic crashed when:
* a hashing static file storage backend was used
* a static file referenced another static file located directly in
STATIC_ROOT (not a subdirectory) with an absolute URL (which must
start with STATIC_URL, which cannot be empty)
It seems to me that the current code reimplements relative path joining
and doesn't handle edge cases correctly. I suspect it assumes that
STATIC_URL is of the form r'/[^/]+/'.
Throwing out that code in favor of the posixpath module makes the logic
easier to follow. Handling absolute paths correctly also becomes easier.
A @font-face declaration may contain a fragment that looks like a relative path,
e.g. @font-face { src: url('../fonts/font.svg#../path/like/fragment'); }
In this case, an incorrect path was passed to the storage backend, which raised
an error that caused collectstatic to crash.
When using ManifestStaticFilesStorage, deleted static files would be
correctly cleaned up by "collectstatic --clear", but the manifest file
would still contain the stale entries.
Thanks to tedtieken for the report
AppStaticStorage only provided one thing over FileSystemStorage, which was
taking an app name (import path) and translating it into a filesystem
path. This is now something that should be done via app_config.path instead,
leaving AppStaticStorage with no reason for existence. It should be safe to
remove, as it was undocumented internal API.
There was some kind of feature in the AppDirectoriesFinder code related to a
"prefix" attribute on the storage class used by AppDirectoriesFinder. Since
this feature was undocumented, untested, and of unclear purpose, I removed it
as well.
Validating STATIC_ROOT in StaticFilesStorage.__init__ turned out to be
problematic - especially with tests - because the storage refuses to work even
if there are no actual interactions with the file system, which is backward
incompatible.
Originally the validation happened in the StaticFilesStorage.path method, but
that didn't work as expected because the call to FileSystemStorage.__init__
replaced the empty value by a valid path. The new approach is to move back the
check to the StaticFilesStorage.path method, but ensure that the location
attribute remains None after the call to super.
Refs #21581.
When STATIC_ROOT wasn't set, collectstatic --clear would delete
every files within the current directory and its descendants.
This patch makes the following changes:
Prevent collectstatic from running if STATIC_ROOT isn't set.
Fixed an issue that prevented collectstatic from displaying the
destination directory.
Changed the warning header to notify when the command is run
in dry-run mode.
Thanks Curtis Malony and Florian Apolloner.

Fixed#21012 -- Thread-local caches, like databases.
* Renamed smart_unicode to smart_text (but kept the old name under
Python 2 for backwards compatibility).
* Renamed smart_str to smart_bytes.
* Re-introduced smart_str as an alias for smart_text under Python 3
and smart_bytes under Python 2 (which is backwards compatible).
Thus smart_str always returns a str objects.
* Used the new smart_str in a few places where both Python 2 and 3
want a str.
